"Elections Can't Be Followed By Violence": Bengal's Supreme Court Setback
Elections cannot be a license for violence, the Supreme Court said today as it dismissed the Mamata Banerjee government's challenge to the deployment of central forces in Bengal for the July 8 local body polls. "We appreciate that you have a democratic setup for elections from top to bottom, but the elections cannot be followed by violence," said the Supreme Court, in sharp comments to the Bengal government.
