Ex Judge Barred From Campaigning Over Sexist Comments On Mamata Banerjee

The Election Commission of India (EC) condemned Mr Ganguly's remarks, calling it a " low-level personal attack."

High Court judge-turned-politician Abhijit Gangopadhyay has been barred by the poll panel from campaigning for 24 hours over sexist remarks on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The Election Commission of India (EC) condemned Mr Ganguly's remarks, calling it a " low-level personal attack."

The BJP, meanwhile, claimed it was a "fake video". "We don't agree with the existence of any such videos. This is a ploy by the TMC to release fake videos and malign the BJP. But that won't make any difference in the elections," BJP spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya was quoted as saying by news agency Press Trust of India.
