Setback for Mamata Banerjee; Supreme Court refuses to change panchayat poll dates
The Supreme Court has said no to the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government and a minority body that wanted poll dates changed for the panchayat elections in the state. While the Supreme Court bench said it respects the sentiments of the Muslim community - on Friday it scheduled the polls alongside Ramzan - it ticked off the Mamata Government for "dilly-dallying", which led to this situation in the first place.
