Former Calcutta High Court judge and BJP's candidate Abhijit Gangopadhyay on Monday sent his reply to the show-cause notice issued by the EC for his "undignified" remark against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The poll panel acted on a complaint by the Trinamool Congress against Gangopadhyay for his remarks against Banerjee while addressing a public meeting held on May 15 in Haldia.

"We have received his (Gangopadhyay's) reply today and forwarded it to the Delhi office," the official told PTI.

The Election Commission had sought a response from Gangopadhyay by 5 PM on May 20.

Senior officials of the Election Commission would take a call after going through the former judge's reply to the show-cause notice, he said.

The BJP has fielded Gangopadhyay from the Tamluk seat in West Bengal where voting will be held on May 25.
