Mr. Nadda also lauded the Election Commission of India (ECI) for conducting “peaceful elections” in spite of “TMC goons” at play
BJP national president J.P. Nadda on March 31 asserted that the high percentage of polling in the first phase is proof enough of a change of guard in West Bengal, as people have lost faith in the “corrupt” TMC regime. Mr. Nadda also lauded the Election Commission of India (ECI) for conducting “peaceful elections” in spite of “TMC goons” at play. “’Khela shesh hoye gyache’ [the game is over]. The high-voting percentage shows that people are yearning for change. [CM] Mamata Banerjee is worried as the elections were peaceful and the TMC goons could not have a field day,” he said, addressing a poll rally Dhanekhali.
