[File Photo/ANI] TMC MP writes to chief election officer, seeks removal of assembly poll incharge for 'illegal actions' ANI | Updated: Mar 06, 2021 16:08 IST Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], March 5 (ANI): Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament (MP) Derek O'Brien on Thursday wrote to West Bengal Chief Election Officer (CEO) seeking removal of state Assembly polls in-charge Sudeep Jain over his alleged "irregular/illegal actions". O'Brien alleged that Jain worked in a partisan manner in Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar statue vandalism matter. In a letter addressed to the Chief Election Officer of West Bengal, O'Brien said, "At a roadshow/rally in Bengal during Lok Sabha elections in 2019, led by Amit Shah, a mob of supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party attacked Vidyasagar College, and vandalised Vidyasagar College as well as a statue of Shri lshwar Chandra Vidyasagar. In the aftermath of the same Sudeep Jain furnished an erroneous and biased report based on which, the Election Commission of India in an unprecedented manner, barred election campaigning two days prior to the polling date. Only one political party, Bharatiya Janata Party, was allowed to complete its election campaigning for that day before such a bar was announced.
