During the West Bengal assembly election, the Commission barred Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from campaigning from 8 pm on 12 April to 8 pm on 13 April 2021. It cited her 7 April appeal to Muslim voters not to split their vote and her 8 April remarks about central forces. It called her handwritten reply factually incorrect and without evidence.
Banerjee held a dharna in protest against the order.
Here the Commission's action comes first and the response is the Chief Minister's.
