Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], January 22 (ANI): As elections in West Bengal are inching closer, the state s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit has written a letter to the Election Commission of India (ECI), urging that the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) must be deployed at least 15 days before polling day.

On the current law and order situation in the state, the BJP West Bengal Unit stated: State-sponsored, legitimised fear, anarchy and lawlessness by the state police at the behest and bidding of AITC negates the very role of police for providing safety and security to its people.
