In first such action in India's electoral history, the Election Commission of India (EC) on Wednesday ordered campaigning in nine West Bengal constituencies to end at 10.00 pm on May 16, a day before its scheduled deadline, in the wake of violence between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and TMC workers in Kolkata.
In a hurriedly-convened press conference, Deputy Election Commissioner Chandra Bhushan Kumar said it was for the first time that such an action has been taken using constitutional powers of the poll panel.
