The District Magistrate should have at least informed us. They did not inform me, fine, but they could inform the Chief Secretary (CS). The Booth Level Officers who have the waiting list, I\u2019m requesting them to ensure that nobody\u2019s name goes off the list. Always remember that Election Commission\u2019s role is crucial after the election dates are announced, but before and after that, it\u2019s the state government\u2019s responsibility,&#8221; she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-2138794385 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-2138794385 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>West Bengal, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-2138794385 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/ul>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-2138794385 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Amit Malviya Questions Mamata Over &#8216;You Work For State Govt&#8217; Remark: &#8216;Threatening EC&#8217;<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
