Earlier on Tuesday, toughening its stand, the EC rejected West Bengal government's plea for reconsideration of transfer of seven top officials and gave an ultimatum to it for complying with its order by 10am on Wednesday.
Unfazed by the severe criticism of its action by West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, the commission told the state chief secretary that its order of April 7 should be complied with by Wednesday morning.
The chief secretary had written to the commission on Tuesday morning that it reconsiders its Monday's order transferring one district magistrate, two additional DMs and superintendents of police of Malda, Murshidabad, Burdwan, West Midnapore and Jargram.
One of the SPs had dual charge of West Midnapore and Jargram districts. A total 19 of Lok Sabha seats form part of these districts. The state has a total of 42 Lok Sabha seats.
"We have reconsidered their request and reiterated that our orders of April 7 should be complied with by 10am tomorrow," EC sources said on the chief secretary's plea.
The EC order on Monday had triggered a major row with the chief minister threatening to defy it saying none of the officials will be shifted as long as she is the chief minister. She had dared the poll panel to act against her, asserting she was prepared to be arrested and go to jail.
In his letter, the chief secretary pointed out that the transfers and their replacements were done without consulting the state government.
Addressing an election rally on Monday, Mamata Banerjee had taken serious exception to the transfers and said she was not going to accept the order.
Banerjee continued to fume over the EC order. "I know what is Constitution. I abide by the Constitution. We pay respect as deserved. But no one has the right to insult Bengal. I have not given you the right to insult me when I give respect to you," she said in a public meeting in Purulia without naming EC.
"I will live with my head high as long as I live. I am not afraid of threats from Delhi," she said.
