Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar said that any kind of violence will not be tolerated in West Bengal during the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He said strict instructions have been issued to the West Bengal bureaucracy to ensure a level playing field for all political parties.
Addressing a press conference, Rajiv Kumar, said the aim of the Election Commission is to conduct a free, fair and violence-free elections in the state. He said, ‘There is no place for fear or intimidation in elections. Partisan approach of the bureaucracy will not be tolerated; we have made this clear’. ECI said it instructed district magistrates and superintendents of police to be ‘absolutely impartial, transparent, accessible to all parties equally and ensure level playing field.
The CEC further said that the SP’s have been repeatedly told that if there is any complaint of intimidation, they should take immediate action and they have assured us that they will do the same. CEC also announced that a few polling stations in the state will be entirely 'women run'. Similarly, some polling stations will be established entirely by persons with disabilities.
The 13-member full bench of the ECI reached the state on Sunday to assess the law and order situation in the state and take stock of its poll preparedness.
