BJP Complains To Poll Panel Against Mamata Banerjee Over Alleged Threats

In its letter to the poll panel, BJP on Tuesday alleged, despite "pro active" role of the commission, "large-scale violence" has been reported during past several days due to such utterances by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief.

Accusing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of issuing threats to its supporters in her rallies, BJP has registered a complaint with the Election Commission over comments made by her. In its letter to the poll panel, BJP on Tuesday alleged, despite "pro active" role of the commission, "large-scale violence" has been reported during past several days due to such utterances by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief. To back up its claim, the letter mentioned a widely circulated video of a meeting addressed by Ms Banerjee at Nandigram on March 29. "In the meeting she said the central paramilitary forces will go one day, but she will stay in Bengal. Who will then save her rivals," the letter quoted Ms Banerjee as saying.
