Meanwhile, the state election commission (SEC) has been accused of being ‘insincere’ by the BJP and the party is likely to file a petition questioning the SEC’s handling of the nomination process today (30 April).

The SEC had earlier been directed by the Calcutta High Court (HC) to hold a ‘meaningful’ meeting with the stakeholders in the polls. However, the BJP has said that the meeting held by the SEC wasn’t meaningful at all.

“The commission will have to explain what they mean by a meaningful meeting. The meeting that they held was not meaningful,” said a BJP leader.
