The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 6 Mar 2021What Bengal thinks tomorrow, will be revealed on May 2. But what Bengal is thinking of as it proceeds to the poll gates starting March 27 is what India, in the avuncular form of the Election Commission (EC), is thinking about, with justifiable concern, today. For those who smell a central government plot in the EC’s eight-phase, 33-day-long election schedule, they should wake up and smell the cha and recognise the fact that the state has been witnessing ‘political’ violence, leading up to many deaths, with grinding regularity in the run-up to polls for many years. EC deploying over 900 companies of central forces to ensure that elections take place without violence and threats is not just okay but also welcome.
