West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari says Mamata Banerjee withheld important details in the affidavit she filed with her nomination for the recent assembly polls. He called it an offence and warned a case could follow.

He made the remarks at a Martyrs' Day event in Nandigram, adding that objections raised during scrutiny were rejected by the returning officer.

Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh hit back, saying most of Adhikari's comments target Mamata and the party.

West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari says his government will approach the Supreme Court over a Calcutta High Court order that halts notifications for the Kolkata Municipal Corporation polls. The order stays in place until a dispute over ward delimitation is settled.

That dispute concerns the increase in KMC wards from 144 to 209 ahead of the polls. Adhikari said he will wait until November 13 before appointing coordinators for all 209 wards.

He also took a dig at those who go to court, saying his side is focused on preparing to win.
