She has been asked to reply by 11 am on Saturday.The Election Commission said that during her speeches on March 28 and April 7, Banerjee had allegedly accused the central forces of intimidating voters and urged women to retaliate against them.“Who gave so much power to them that the central police are threatening the women without allowing them to cast their votes?” Banerjee said in an interview on March 28, the Hindustan Times reported. “I saw the same thing in 2019 [Lok Sabha elections], I saw the same thing in 2016 [Assembly elections].On April 7 at a rally in Coochbehar city, the West Bengal chief minister allegedly urged people to attack the security forces.“I know under whose instruction they [central force] beat up and how they beat up,” she allegedly said. “It is your duty to save the family of the people. If any of our mothers and sisters suffer a single strike with the stick, attack them with ladle, spuds and knife. I am telling you. It is the right of women. And if any of our mothers and sisters are denied entry in the voting booth all of you come out and revolt.”This the Election Commission’s second notice to Banerjee.

The election body had then asked the chief minister to explain her remarks by Friday, failing which, the EC said, it would take action.West Bengal will go to the fourth phase of polling in the eight-round Assembly elections on Saturday.
