CPI-M today moved the Election Commission against ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal alleging that its ministers in the state are questioning the role of the poll panel in handling law and order during conduct of elections.
It also charged the Mamata Banerjee government with transferring police officials -- some considered close to Trinamool and others considered honest -- ahead of Assembly polls due in April-May to suit its requirements.
Party leaders Sitaram Yechury and Nilotpal Basu met Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi and handed over a memorandum. In the memorandum, CPI-M said it has apprehensions that "huge sums of ill-gotten funds" from the ponzy scam could be used to influence voters.
