State BJP president breaks indefinite fast

Kolkata: West Bengal BJP chief Rahul Sinha broke his indefinite fast on Sunday, a day after he launched the stir outside the state chief electoral officer's office, alleging non-cooperation from the administration in allowing the party to hold election meetings. 
Sinha ended his fast after the chief election officer assured the BJP that he would take proper action in this regard, the party national spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters after meeting CEO Sunil Gupta. 
“Some officers have certain biases against us and 
they are not giving permission for holding meetings in proper time. A programme of Nitin Gadkari and another of Arun Jaitley were cancelled,” Prasad said. 
“The Election Commission has assured us to take proper action,” Prasad said. 
Sinha had demanded immediate suspension of North 24-Parganas ADM Randhir Kumar and inspector-in-Charge of Uluberia police station for “non-cooperation”. 
The EC said it had sought a report from the district magistrates of Nadia, North 24-Paraganas and Howrah.
