West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose sent a sealed envelope to the State Election Commissioner (SEC) Rajiva Sinha which contained observations of his field visits to violence-hit areas in the state ahead of upcoming Panchayat Polls. Addressing a presser on July 06, West Bengal Governor blamed SEC’s inability to perform his duty for the violence that gripped the state during the Polls. “If democracy is dead during this Panchayat Election, then the West Bengal Election Commissioner is the killer. SEC is the custodian of the lives of people during elections and you are armed with all authority to hold peaceful elections. Satan has risen from Hell again. Looking at the murders at the street, Shakespeare would say, ‘Hell is empty, all the demons are here,” he said. “Mr SEC, Bengal expects you to do your duty. Have you done your duty? Do you know what is your duty? Your masters sin against the Constitution. I appointed you, and in my opinion, you failed to fulfil your duty. SEC, you are responsible for the bodies that fell on the streets,” added the Governor.
