TMC leader Suvendu Adhikari sends legal notice to CPM Chief
A legal notice has been served to CPM state secretary Surya Kanta Mishra for allegedly making "false allegations and sullying" the reputation of Trinamool Congress candidate in Nandigram, Suvendu Adhikari.
Â
Mishra had on Tuesday complained to the Election Commission alleging that Adhikari had held a meeting on May 1 at a college at Panskura in East Midnapore district with officers-in-charge of Moyna, Haldia, Marishda, Ramnagar and Panskura police stations "to keep the central forces away from action" during today's polling in the district.
Â
"I have sent a legal notice to Mishra against such utterly false allegations levelled at me to harm my and TMC's reputation. No such meeting had taken place," Adhikari told PTI last night.
Â
The Election Commission had yesterday said that it has not found any substance in the complaint made by the CPM that Trinamool Congress candidate in Nandigram Suvendu Adhikari had held a meeting with some police officers recently in poll-bound East Midnapore district.
Â
"We had sought a report from the district authorities, who said the complaints could not be substantiated," additional chief electoral officer Dibyendu Sarkar has said.
