India Today
Condemning the 'brutal killings after the (election) results', BJP chief JP Nadda alleged that 14 BJP workers had been killed and women molested and raped in various parts of the state.
The BJP on Wednesday claimed that 14 party workers were killed and nearly a lakh people fled their homes in post-poll violence, charges which were denied as fabricated by the Trinamool Congress. BJP president J P Nadda at a press conference in Kolkata claimed that 80,000 to one lakh people have left their homes in different parts of the state in the wake of Trinamool Congress' spectacular electoral victory and held Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responsible, alleging her silence (on the violence) speaks of her involvement. Earlier in the day, Banerjee, after taking oath for a third term in office, said she would take strict action to stop any lawlessness and pointed out till her swearing in, the state's law and order was supervised by the Election Commission that had changed many top-level police personnel responsible for tackling such incidents.More Related News
