The BJP delegation made this request to Dhankhar after meeting the State Election Commission (SEC) on Sunday night.

That’s why we have come to the Raj Bhavan for the intervention of the Governor on this issue. Democracy is in danger in West Bengal under Mamata Banerjee’s rule.

The party, in its letter to the SEC, said that the State Election Commission has “failed to play its role in ensuring free and fair municipal elections under the direction of the Hon’ble High Court” resulting in widespread rigging in all 107 municipalities and the Trinamool BJP workers were attacked by Congress workers.

Accusing the police and the SEC of failing to play their part in preventing rigging and attacks, the BJP demanded that Sunday’s elections in 107 municipalities be declared “invalid” and re-polling under the protection of central police forces. .

The BJP, in a letter to the governor, said it was not satisfied with the SEC’s response to its request. He said, “We are left with no option but to request your intervention in this matter.” Dhankhar had asked the state election commissioner to meet him at Raj Bhavan on Monday before meeting the delegation.
