National General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Kailash Vijayvargiya on Sunday said that Election Commission's representative promised him to appoint central security force for conducting the West Bengal Assembly election 2021with-out any fear.

"West Bengal is a challenge for everyone amid the intolerance and worst law and order conditions. Election Commission's representative promised to appoint central force in West Bengal to conduct the election without any fear." said Kailash Vijayvargiya.

Kailash Vijayvargiya has also demanded that state police should be kept aside during the West Bengal Assembly election in 2021 as West Bengal police have been seen involved in state politics, said Kailash Vijayvargiya.

BJP has established a strong base in West Bengal. Vijayvargiya said that they don't need the support of any party to fight elections and will form a government by a two-thirds margin.

West Bengal Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in 2021. With 294 seats, a keen contest awaits the state as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tries to wrest power from Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress.
