TMC dismisses BJP complaint on Mamata’s misleading affidavit
The campaign for the high-profile Bhabanipur Assembly by-elections is intensifying with each passing day.
In its latest salvo, the BJP on Tuesday alleged that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in her affidavit filed before the Election Commission of India has not given information about the cases filed in Assam against her. A complaint was filed by BJP candidate Priyanka Tibrewal’s election agent Sajal Ghosh to the returning officer Bhabanipur Assembly Seat alleging discrepancies in Ms Banerjee affidavit.
TMC leader Firhad Hakim, however, said the complaint in Assam was not against Ms. Banerjee but against another person with the same name. A similar complaint was filed by the BJP when Ms. Banerjee was contesting at Nandigram.
