West Bengal BJP chief Samik Bhattacharya said Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar deserves the Padma Bhushan for ensuring a violence-free assembly election and cleansing voter rolls of Bangladeshi infiltrators. His remarks came amid a controversy over the poll panel's functioning after reports that two election commissioners objected to decisions taken in their names during the SIR exercise. Congress held nationwide protests demanding Kumar's removal and arrest.
