kolkataUpdated: Aug 16, 2020 09:46 ISTWest Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday appealed to the people of the state to create an atmosphere so that elections can be held without any violence and set an example for the nation. The governor, however, did not specify the election that he had in mind. The civic polls in 107 civic bodies in the state besides the Kolkata Municipal Corporation which was due in April this year has been postponed due to the pandemic. “I have been trying for it right from day one and I can assure you this will happen. It is not strained, it is kept sublime,” Dhankhar, who has been embroiled in several controversies with the state government since he took charge in July 2019, said.
