Bengal: EC misses chance Subhani to curb Covid during vote vidently, bureaucratic woodenness has triumphed over plain common sense. It is open to question, however, whether the victory has not been that of politics in dismissing the plea of West Bengal chief minister EMamata Banerjee for collapsing the remaining four phases of the Assembly election into one. The CM’s urging came in the wake of the surging Covid-19 cases in the country. As much as the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar, which the chief minister of Uttarakhand shows no inclination to cancel as he aspires to religious merit and evidently also political dividends that may flow from it, the Election Commission of India appears in no mood to cancel polling schedules more appropriate for nor- mal times. It is another matter that eight phases of polling in a not very large state wasn’t exactly normal to start with, and has been a matter of criticism by all parties in the fray other than the BJP. The dissenters see in the eight-phase polling programme the hand of political considerations writ large. Ms Banerjee tweeted her pleading.
