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

Kolkata: With the Election Commission toughening its stand, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday agreed to its direction to transfer eight officials as a "constitutional obligation" but also demanded a top "tainted" poll panel

Meanwhile the opposition has lambasted Banerjee for her outburst against the poll panel and accused her of defying the constitution.

If state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rahul Sinha urged the EC to show cause Banerjee, his Congress counterpart Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury demanded the Trinamool supremo's arrest for defying the constitution.

"I feel Mamata Banerjee should be immediately arrested and sent to jail for making fun of constitutional norms. She is reacting in this way because her plans to unleash terror have been foiled by the EC," said Chowdhury.

Left Front chairman Biman Bose said: "This is unprecedented, nothing like this has been heard before. Is it her ego that is preventing her from complying with the law? If her defiance leads to a constitutional crisis in the state, she will be the only person to be blamed."
