Banerjee had earlier tweeted that the ban is "undemocratic and unconstitutional". Before she arrived at the spot, TMC workers began sloganeering. The on-duty Kolkata police urged the TMC supporters to refrain from sloganeering.
The poll panel had on Wednesday issued a notice to Banerjee for violating the model code of conduct, after she allegedly urged the Muslim community to vote en block for the TMC.
She was holding a public meeting for Debabrata Majumdar (Moloy) in Jadavpur and state PWD minister Aroop Biswas in Tollygunge.
PM Modi targeted TMC leader over the accusations on the Election Commission. He said that had the BJP said that Hindus had to unite and vote for BJP they would have got notices.
During a Press conference at BJP’s election office, he alleged, “West Bengal CM’s and state govt's involvement in the coal scam has been proved. The Central investigating agency has accessed tapes of conversations between an unknown individual and coal scam accused Anup Majhi’s righthand man Ganesh Bagaria, exposing the syndicate culture in Bengal government.”
The BJP will win over 200 seats, Modi said and claimed that TMC and its party supremo will have to account for the deaths of brothers, sisters and sons of Bengal.
Modi was visibly happy seeing the presence of the women and the young voters. An overwhelmed Modi said: “The crowd here, I guess, may challenge the turnout at the recent Brigade rally.”
CM says, "I say I am a big donkey for having failed to recognise them. People say their empire is worth Rs 5,000 crore"
Miss Banerjee said at Hazra crossing: “We will continue to fight... I’m still in a lot of pain, but I feel the pain of my people even more. Doctors advised me 15 days rest but if I take rest then people who have conspired against me will get the advantage.”
