West Bengal Governor M K Narayanan today came out in the support of the State Election Commission (SEC) which had moved the Supreme Court yesterday demanding adequate security arrangements for holding the upcoming Panchayat polls in the state.
"This is a step in the right direction and going to the Supreme Court is one means to ensure elections with adequate security so that there is no violence. We will have to find some way", Narayanan told reporters when asked about SEC's decision to move the apex court.
Although the Calcutta High Court was supposed to pass an order regarding holding of the polls yesterday, the Commission moved the Supreme Court without waiting for it.
