Mamata Banerjee unhappy after EC deploys Vivek Dubey as central observer in Bengal

The Election Commission of India would be deploying central observers, who have the responsibility of conducting elections without any disturbance in the state. The chief election commissioner Sunil Arora said that Vivek Dubey will be deployed as the one of the central observers in West Bengal.

The Election Commission informed that there will be two Police Observers in Bihar along with an IAS officer. There is only one police observer in the remaining 3 states and one Union Territory. The Election Commission has entrusted the responsibility of Bengal to retired IPS officers Vivek Dubey and Mrinal Kanti Das.

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee Sharma had complained to the Election Commission, expressing her objection by calling him an RSS cadre. The CPIM also raised objections against him. Vivek Dubey is known for investigating the Bilkis Bano case, working against terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, operations against Naxalism.

Nayak was also deployed as a special observer in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The BJP had won 40% of the vote share and 18 of the 42 seats emerging as the principal opponent of the ruling TMC. The TMC which got 43% votes had won 22 seats.

Mamata Banerjee requested the Election Commission not to deploy Vivek Dubey in West Bengal. She said, “I humbly request the Election Commission not to look at West Bengal through the eyes of the BJP. The same person has been kept as the central observer in the state. In 2019, Vivek Dubey was an observer here (police). We all know what he did. We all know the game and the drama. The BJP has power over all agencies and the central government. The central government cannot abuse its power in a state election. If allowed to do that, it would be a big mistake. You will have to suffer the consequences.”
