LALGARH: After the State Election Commission, it was the judiciary's turn on Monday. Speaking at an election meeting in Lalgarh, chief minister Mamata Banerjee came down heavily on the judiciary for its "game plan" regarding the rural polls.

"We were forced to submit before the game plan of the court and the State Election Commission to let the panchayat elections take place in the month of Ramzan as it is a constitutional obligation. Moreover, unlike them (the commission and the opposition), who didn't want the elections and proposed to snatch people's democratic rights, we wanted the polls, especially because the term of panchayats have either expired or are expiring... We apologise that the elections are being held during Ramzan... We also condemn those who imposed it at this time," said Mamata.

The CM also took a dig at state election commissioner Mira Pande and said she would have removed Pande if she enjoyed two-thirds majority in the assembly.

"Some of you may mistakenly believe that we appointed this commissioner. She was appointed by the Left Front government and before leaving office, CPM chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee extended her tenure from three to six years," she added.

Mamata slammed the former CM of Bengal. "Buddhababu is again displaying clenched fists and saying he will show us what he can do. But he can only show us if people give him another chance. He had the chance for 35 years. How much longer does he need?"

This wasn't all. The CM blamed the Centre for "encouraging" Maoists.

"I had urged the Centre to seal our state's borders with Jharkhand and Odisha after the killing of a district SP in Jharkhand. But it has not been done," she said, adding that Maoist suicide squads were out to kill her. She warned them that people would take revenge even if a single political leader was killed by Maoists.
