Violence broke out in seven districts of West Bengal during the Panchayat elections on Saturday, in which incidents of arson, shelling, firing and bombings were witnessed. Political parties are busy accusing each other amid the tension and unrest in the state.
BJP’s allegation- Stamped ballot papers found from Diamanch Harbour
Amit Malviya, the head of BJP’s IT cell, made several tweets holding Mamta Banerjee government responsible. He said in a tweet that Mamta Banerjee has made a mockery of democracy in West Bengal. Referring to TMC MP and Mamta’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee, he said that in his Diamond Harbour, TMC put a stamp in the ballot box at the booth. Malviya further said that TMC captured the booth late at night after voting, where there was no CCTV camera nor security personnel. Abhishek Banerjee is an MP from Diamond Harbour.
Nursat hits back at Malviya’s tweet
Now TMC MP Nusrat Jahan has also retaliated on Amit Malviya’s allegations and BJP has been accused of spreading rumours. They said, "Netra GP is under Mathurapur Lok Sabha constituency and not Diamond Harbour, as claimed by Amit Malviya." He further taunted that unfortunately your IT cell cannot twist facts for publicity and this campaign of spreading misinformation has to be stopped.
