TMC delegation meets EC NEW DELHI, Mar 12: A TMC delegation met the Election Commission (EC) on Friday and demanded a high- level probe into an alleged attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram and claimed it was not an "unfortunate incident", but a conspiracy. The six-member delegation of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) met the full EC team, including Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sunil Arora, for over an hour and sub- mitted a memorandum to it, highlighting how BJP leaders in West Bengal had threatened the chief minister through tweets and other remarks. "Injuries to Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram were not a result of an unfortunate incident but that of a conspira- cy. The events leading up to the attempt on her life leave no doubt that the attack was part of a deep-rooted conspir- acy," TMC MP Saugata Roy told reporters after meeting the EC. In the memorandum, the TMC has made allegations against Suvendu Adhikari, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Nandigram in the upcoming state Assembly polls.(PTI).
