Comparing the TMC's fight against the BJP as a battle between 'Pandavas and Kauravas', West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Thursday that the common people will stand by her even if there is a discreet attempt to enforce President rule. A top EC official said the second supplementary list, adjudicated by HC-appointed judicial officers, will be published on Friday.
Banerjee expressed concern about another lockdown in the backdrop of a meeting called by PM Narendra Modi on Friday, to discuss the West Asia situation.
Continuing her attack on the ECI-BJP, Banerjee demanded that a proper supplementary list be released and distributed to all the stakeholders to help people appeal in the Appellate Tribunals. Speaking at a campaign rally in Pandebeswar and Dubrajpur on Thursday, she said the TMC would provide free legal assistance to all to appear in these tribunals.
"I have heard that 40% of names under adjudication have been deleted while 60% have been retained. We have fought for it from the streets to the Supreme Court. People whose names have been deleted will get the opportunity to appeal before the tribunal as per SC's verdict. I urge my party workers to get in touch with such people to provide free legal help," she said.
Supplementary Lists
The Calcutta High Court is considering publication of daily supplementary lists after March 27, sources said. The procedure for filing appeals before the Tribunal has not yet been initiated. The EC is currently developing software, subject to the permission of the High Court. The HC will determine the procedure for filing appeals before the Tribunal. An inspection will be conducted at the Judicial Academy for establishing the Tribunal. Representatives from the Calcutta High Court and the Election Commission will conduct a joint inspection on Friday, following which they will announce their decision.
