Synopsis
The ECI had imposed a 24-hour ban on her election campaigning from 8 pm on Monday till 8 pm on Tuesday. Earlier, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) leader sat on a silent dharna to protest against the ECI s ban, drawing support from opposition leaders from parties such as the Shiv Sena, DMK and NCP.
In 2006, Banerjee had held a fortnight-long hunger strike during her protest against land acquisition for the Singur small car factory.
West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee slammed the Election Commission of India (ECI)’s decision to bar her for campaigning for 24 hours, saying at a rally after the ban ended on Tuesday evening that she would leave it to the people to judge why she was made to effectively miss out on 96 hours of campaign time.
