New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday responded to an Election Commission show-cause notice on prima facie violation of model code, days after the poll body rejected a response from the state Chief Secretary on her behalf.
“Reply to the EC notice has been received from Mamata Banerjee. It is under examination,” a Commission official said here, refusing to give further details.
The Trinamul Congress chairperson was given time till Friday morning to respond to the show-cause notice after EC rejected the response from Chief Secretary Basudeb Banerjee.
In a strongly-worded letter to the Trinamul supremo on Tuesday, the poll panel had made it clear that the notice was issued to her in her capacity as Trinamul Congress head and not as the chief minister of West Bengal.
Meanwhile, in a bid to reach out more voters, especially the youth, the party supremo also answered some questions on social networking site Facebook. Commenting on femminism, she said, she is a humanist. “I take care of every human being. I will take care of humanity,” she said in reply to a question.
