People would give the opposition parties a befitting reply if they think they can unleash "one-sided violence", said Mamata Banerjee.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused the opposition parties of trying to malign the state by orchestrating violence while filing nominations for the July 8 panchayat polls.
People would give the opposition parties a befitting reply if they think they can unleash "one-sided violence", said Ms Banerjee, also the Trinamool Congress chief.
She denied any involvement of her party workers in the incidents of violence that have taken place, stating that the Trinamool has instructed its members to allow all candidates to file their nominations.
Talking to reporters outside a party office at Diamond Harbour, she asserted that the party had denied tickets to non-performers.
