The election commission had earlier cut short the campaign period after the violence in Amit Shah`s road show and had decided to deploy 710 companies of security forces to ensure peaceful polling in the last phase of Lok Sabha Elections.
"710 companies of security personnel will be providing 100 percent coverage during the seventh phase of elections in West Bengal. This will include 512 quick response teams (QRTs) led by assistant commandants," said the EC in a statement.
All the preparations of the poll body seem to be going in vain as the state faces violence in the remaining phase.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Banerjee, the nephew of party chief Mamata Banerjee, who is seeking re-election from Diamond Harbour has sent a defamation notice to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making "wildly fabricated allegations" against him during a rally in the constituency.
PM Modi had said that the state was being tortured by the bua-bhatija - an apparent reference to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee.
