After the high-voltage second phase polls in Nandigram, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah was actually managing the ongoing elections in the state, instead of the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Speaking at a public gathering in Dinhata-Sanhati maidan, Banerjee said: “Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has killed a lot of our workers. Our workers were killed yesterday in several areas. I am only waiting for the elections to be over. I will spare no one, I know the fight. I say this with great regret and with humble regards to the Election Commission, it is not managing the elections, the elections are being managed by Amit Shah.”
Banerjee also made a lot of promises to the people if her party won the ongoing elections in the state.
“I know I will win, but if other Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidates do not win with me, how will the numbers increase, and if the numbers don’t increase and I do not get 200 seats, then how will I form the government? If I am not able to form the government, there will be no Kanyashree, Rupashree, free ration, free bicycles and free land for farmers,” she said.
The Chief Minister also alleged that Central forces in West Bengal were colluding with BJP to create chaos in different areas. “We respect CRPF and BSF, but please stop the terrorising villages with the help of BJP’s workers,” she remarked.
