SEC Will Take an 'Upright Call' On Civic Poll Dates: WB Governor

West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar expressed hope that the SEC would surely take an "upright call" on the dates for civic polls.

• The ruling TMC had appealed to the SEC to defer the polls, a demand that found resonance among the Opposition parties too.
• A final decision will be taken by the SEC following an all-party meeting on Monday.
• Dhankhar said in a tweet, "SEC has the same right in deciding election dates as much as the EC of India has."
• According to the sources, the state govt was earlier keen on holding the elections between April 12 and 26.
