Assembly Elections 2021 News LIVE Updates: While West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was in hospital, it was learnt that programmes on her schedule for the next two days have been cancelled because of her condition.

Meanwhile, a medical board will re-examine her at 11 am on Friday to take a decision on when she can be discharged.

While a TMC delegation met the Bengal Chief Electoral Officer and insisted the Election Commission cannot absolve itself of culpability in Banerjee’s accident, insisting that maintaining law and order was the EC’s responsibility once the election has been announced, the EC sent a strongly-worded letter to the Trinamool Congress saying it looks “undignified to even respond” to allegations that the poll panel is doing things in the state at the behest of a “particular party”.
