But, his appeal has gone waste as the election-related violence continued in the state," he said."Now it is 3 pm, and more than 15 people have been brutally killed by the goons. More than 20,000 booths have been captured by TMC hooligans, in the presence of state police. CAPF is totally non-functioning due to the non-cooperation of the district police," Adhikari added.He said that Bengal Governor should send a report to the Centre. "The state is burning and the Centre should intervene with either Article 355 or Article 356 (President's Rule)," he said.The BJP leader said that hundreds of polling booths, where public resistance happened will go for a repolling.Lashing out at the State Election Commission, he said that the poll body is a frontal organization of TMC."It (SEC) is a frontal organization of the ruling TMC. And the registered drunkard, Mr Rajiv Sinha, chief of State Election Commission is the paid dog of CM Mamata Banerjee," he alleged.Mounting an attack on the TMC, he said that CM Mamata Banerjee and his nephew Abhishek Banerjee have turned the land of freedom fighters into turmoil."This is not an election...It's a 'jungle raj...the freedom fighters in 1942 declared India free on this land and today this land is in turmoil because of Mamata Banerjee and his nephew with the connivance of West Bengal Police...Central government should take the decision...it's my demand, if President's rule is not there let Mamata Banerjee be the CM...we will remove her after contesting in elections but Article 355 should be implemented for the safety of the citizens..." he said.West Bengal has 3,341 gram panchayats and the number of village panchayat election centres is 58,594.
