The local reports said there had been complaints regarding these officers and reports of violence in areas under their watch. The state will go for polls in eight phases beginning March 27. The EC directive to the state government said Ayesha Rani will be attached to the office of the chief secretary till the completion of elections.

 

 

 

 

The Commission has ordered that Rajesh Kumar be posted as ADG West Zone, Joyeshi Dasgupta as DEO Jhargram, Arijit Sinha as SP (Diamond Harbour), Debashish Dhar as SP (Cooch Behar) and Akash Magharia as DCP (South Kolkata). Earlier today, addressing Jhargram, Home Minister Amit Shah appealed to the masses to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party as Mamata Banerjee led government had done nothing on infrastructural development front. "Jhargram is a land of tribals, forests and red soil. With Ma Mati Manush, Didi formed govt but didn't do anything for you. There's no drinking water", he said.

 

 

 

 

 

Shah further added, "Leave Didi, vote for Modi ji's lotus, in 5 years we will bring drinking water. Didi has scared innocent tribals with 'Khela Hobe' but doesn't she know that even a small kid plays football here. Nobody is scared of your 'Khela Hobe', Didi. Vote for us, I assure you that Didi's goons won't be able to harm you".
