West Bengal Election 2021 LIVE Updates 15.4.2021

Assembly Election 2021 LATEST updates: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Wednesday that the BJP will not be able to win even 70 seats in the ongoing state assembly elections, which many hope will be a fail.

The Supreme TMC is set to tackle back-to-back rallies in Dhupguri, Kharija Berubari, Jaleshwari, Nadia, and Darjeeling from Jalpaiguri.

Addressing a public meeting in Katwa, West Bengal, the BJP chief attacked the state government’s inaction over alleged attacks by Trinamool Congress ‘thugs’ against Dalits.

The congressional leader will address his first electoral rally in Bengal ahead of the fifth phase of the state Assembly elections on April 17. It is scheduled to hold two public meetings, one in Goalpokhar at 2.10 pm and the other in Bagdogra at 4 pm.

The TMC supremo said it will also guarantee justice for the family of Ananda Burman, an 18-year-old first-time voter who was shot to death outside a voting booth in the same district.

A delegation of parliamentarians from Trinamool Congress will meet with Election Commission officials in Delhi on Wednesday afternoon, the party said.

The delegation will include MPs Derek O’Brien, Kalyan Banerjee, Pratima Mondal, and Santanu Sen. They are scheduled to arrive at the Election Commission of India office at 3.30 pm.

The meeting will take place days after the electoral body banned Supreme TMC and West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from campaigning for 24 hours. On Tuesday he had sat in a three-and-a-half-hour protest against the voting panel’s decision.

On Monday, shortly after the Election Commission banned Mamata Banerjee from campaigning for 24 hours, her party alleged that the electoral panel was behaving like a “wing of the BJP” and its decision smacked of authoritarianism.
