Kolkata, May 14 (Inditop.com) Contesting Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee’s claim that assembly polls in West Bengal may be advanced to October, the state’s ruling Left Front chairman Biman Bose Friday said that elections will be held as per schedule next year.
“According to the constitution of India, the state will go for assembly polls in 2011 only. The state government will complete its full term. The polls are not going to happen before 2011 according to the whims of someone,” Bose told reporters here.
Banerjee, also the railway minister, claimed Thursday that the assembly polls due next year may be advanced to October if her party won the upcoming Kolkata Municipal Corporation election.
The state is gearing up to hold polls to 81 municipalities and the Kolkata Municipal Corporation May 30.
