TMC approaches EC fearing unrest on the day of poll

The Trinamool Congress approached the Election Commission fearing unrest on the day of polling in East Midnapore. On Friday (March 26) afternoon, Trinamool MP Kakali Ghosh Dastidar and Derek O’ Brien went to the Election Commission office and complained in a letter.

The TMC leaders claimed that foreign miscreants had infiltrated large areas of East Midnapore, including Nandigram. The commission should take immediate action in this regard.
 

After meeting the commission officials on the same day, Kakali Ghosh Dastidar said, “Outsiders are roaming in the vast area of East Midnapore. Opposition candidates, especially in Egra, Patashpur, Bhagwanpur and Nandigram, have been hiding their misdeeds in the house of the villagers. They can create violence on the polling day.”
 

“We have submitted the evidence and demanded the Election Commission to take immediate action in this regard,” she added.

Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee said, “Last night, 30 residents of Uttar Pradesh were arrested from Kanthi bus stand. Weapons were also recovered from their possession.”
 

The BJP claims that the Trinamool has started looking for excuses knowing that their defeat is imminent in the election.
