Photo: Indranil Bhoumik/MintKolkata: The opposition Congress leadership in West Bengal is miffed over party spokesperson and lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi appearing in the Supreme Court to defend the state government. Chowdhury said he hadn’t expected Singhvi to appear for the West Bengal government, at least in this matter. The Supreme Court has reserved its verdict till Monday. The BJP in its application alleged that rampant violence orchestrated by the Trinamool Congress and backed by the local administration was stopping people from filing nominations. On being asked if he would continue to defend the West Bengal government in the Supreme Court in matters related to the panchayat election, Singhvi said all submissions have been made on Friday.
