Kolkata, Jun 22 (PTI) : A day after returning the joining letter of State Election Commissioner (SEC) Rajiva Sinha to the state government, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Thursday said he had appointed the former bureaucrat “trusting” his ability to conduct free and fair polls.
Bose said there have been several incidents of violence in parts of the state and the people of Bengal were “disappointed” because of the apparent inaction of the SEC.
“I appointed the SEC trusting that he would conduct the panchayat polls in a free and fair manner. People should be able to vote fearlessly, but I find people are disappointed about the apparent inaction of the SEC,” Bose told reporters.
