KOLKATA: The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) has urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) about the purported incidents of two block development officers (BDOs) in West Burdwan district of West Bengal allowing the local Trinamool Congress leadership to use their office infrastructure for attending the party's virtual organisational meeting on Friday, which was chaired by the party's General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee.

The CPI-M Politburo member and the party's West Bengal Secretary, Mohammed Salim, had written a letter to the West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), requesting the latter to investigate the matter and accordingly, take appropriate legal actions against the BDOs concerned.

Along with his complaint, Salim had also attached supporting evidence to substantiate the allegations on this count.
