Congress planned three rallies for Gandhi. For the rallies in Kolkata, permission was sought for Ramlila Park or Park Circus Ground and Metiabruz. Separate permission was sought to organize the rally at Serampore Stadium.“The police have not given us permission to hold even a single rally, while others have been allowed to hold rallies,” Mitra said, adding that the rallies scheduled for April 23 have been cancelled.When asked for a reaction, Bengal minister Shashi Panja said, “The caretaker government of the state cannot answer for the cancellation of his visit, the Election Commission can answer for that.”
