New Delhi: Day after the dates for Assembly elections in four states, including in West Bengal, and the Union Territory of Puducherry were announced, the Congress party on Saturday said officials deployed on poll duty should remain non-partisan and maintain a level-playing field during the upcoming polls.
Addressing a press conference, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi accused the BJP of resorting to a “below-the-belt” and “low-level” politics in West Bengal, calling it unfortunate.
