In a letter to Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath and state CEO Sunil Kumar Gupta, Trinamool General Secretary Mukul Roy accused the EC of failure to ensure the safety and security of the chief minister who was a Z+ category protectee.
“Law and order in the state is now under the absolute superintendence, direction and control of the Election Commission, which has failed in its duty to ensure her safety and security,” Roy said.
“I wish to bring to your notice that the safety norms and procedures were completely disregarded by the administrative machinery under your control,” it said.
“This incident could have had fatal, disastrous consequences with repercussions in West Bengal and the entire nation,” he said.
“One cannot rule out a deep, devious conspiracy behind this incident,” he said.
