"The TMC has unleashed an unprecedented reign of terror, which Kolkata has never seen. Today Kolkata was ruled by criminals. The police and SEC were used by TMC to turn the election into a farce," CPI-M state secretariat member Sujan Chakraborty said.
Left Front, he said, would take out a massive rally throughout the state in protest against the reign of terror and turning the polls into a farce.
State BJP President Rahul Sinha demanded that the State Election Commissioner resign or cancel the election and order a fresh poll.
"We demand immediate resignation of the SEC and that fresh polls should be held under the supervision of central forces," he said.

He expressed surprise that if TMC was sure about winning the election then why it resorted to terror.
