The BJP on Tuesday lodged a complaint with the Election Commission, alleging that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee did not make a mention about pending criminal cases in her nomination papers for the Bhabanipur by-poll.

Sajal Ghosh, the chief election agent of the BJP’s candidate for the constituency — Priyanka Tibrewal, wrote to the EC, “I beg to object to the nomination/declaration filed by Mamata Banerjee” on the ground that the candidate has failed to disclose particulars of the pending criminal proceedings against her.” When contacted, Ghosh told PTI, “The EC must reject her nomination. She has suppressed the facts.”
