BJP demands immediate removal of OSD from CEO's office

Ahead of the fourth phase of poll in West Bengal on April 25, BJP today lodged a complaint with the EC demanding immediate removal of an officer on special duty from the office of the CEO alleging that he was acting as an informer to the ruling Trinamool Congress.
"Even as EC from its headquarters is trying to ensure free and fair poll in West Bengal, some moles in CEO's office here are busy diluting the process. We demand their immediate removal and neutrality of the poll panel's office here," BJP National Spokesman Shahnawaz Hussain said here.
The CEO's office, however, did not make any comment on the complaint.

Earlier in the day, a BJP delegation met the CEO and submitted the complaint against the OSD Soumya Biswas and demanding prompt action for free and fair poll in the state.
Hussain alleged that the OSD is an office bearer of TMC-sponsored State Government Employees Federation.
"Despite his posting in CEO's office, Biswas is involved in federation and party activities on a regular basis," he said.

Accusing TMC of indulging in violence during the ongoing poll, Hussain said it was attacking workers of opposition parties out of frustration and fear.
He expressed confidence on BJP making a turnaround in the poll. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appearance in Bengal's poll campaign has changed the entire scenario as well as the party's poll prospect."

On Rahul Gandhi's election rally today, the BJP national spokesman said people have lost all faith in Congress as well as in the Leftists.
"There was nothing special in the content of Rahul Gandhi's speech and all his rallies are sparsely attended. He raised the issue of syndicate raj but it is nothing new from the Congress culture like 2G Spectrum and coal scam."
People will raise questions about Congress' strategy to fight Marxists in Kerala and fight TMC in alliance with Marxists in Bengal, he added.
