Asserting that the lok Sabha polls in West Bengal was a contest between the Trinamool Congress and his party, BJP leader Chandan Mitra on Saturday accused the ruling party of unleashing terror.
“There is a strong undercurrent of popular support to BJP in State and those who think that the electoral contest is between the TMC and the left Front are mistaken. “In most of the seats here, the fight is between Trinamool and BJP,” Mitra told mediapersons here.Alleging large scale threat and intimidation by the Trinamool, he demanded deployment of central paramilitary forces.
“Central paramilitary forces must be deployed to ensure free and fair polls,” he said, alleging that what is going on in the State was “jungleraaj”.“We have seen the Naxal period, the rule of the CPI(M) but TMC regime has surpassed all,” he said, who is contesting from Hooghly. Mitra ridiculed Mamata for her “prime ministerial” ambitions and accused her of venting her ire on the BJP for spoiling her “prime ministerial dreams”.
