<span style="color: #222222;">Election Commission has rejected the demand of TMC to remove Deputy Election Commissioner incharge of West Bengal Assembly poll Sudeep Jain. The Commission said that all its Deputy Election Commissioners and other officials posted in the  headquarters or working in the field are discharging their duties strictly as per Constitution and the various extant rules regarding the conduct of elections. It added the Commission has full faith in the integrity and fairness of  Mr. Jain. The poll panel said,  it is not for the first time that a concerted campaign is mounted against senior officers of the Commission  during the process of elections. Referring to the TMC allegations about two decisions taken by Mr. Jain during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections when he was also looking after West Bengal, the poll body clarified that both these decisions were taken by the Commission in the interest of holding free, fair and peaceful elections.</span><br />
