Facing rigid EC, Mamata agrees to transfers, attacks poll official again

"There is a case against this man in Rajasthan involving a land scam. Even a non-bailable warrant was issued against him but he got it stayed by Supreme Court.

"Why this person in charge of election process in Bengal? Why a tainted person like him is allowed to function. We demand his immediate removal," said Banerjee who had attacked Zutshi on Monday too.

The poll panel had remained adamant on its decision on the transfers and mandated the Banerjee government to comply its order by Wednesday.

"The state government had sought clarification and reconsideration on the orders regarding the shuffling.

After reconsidering we have iterated that the list that was issued April 7 has to be complied with by 10 a.m. Wednesday," EC director Dhirendra Ojha told IANS over the phone.
