EC a Mute Spectator in West Bengal

BJP president Amit Shah on Wednesday blamed West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress for enjoying savagery in the state and asserted that the Election Commission has been a "quiet observer".

Tending to a question and answer session here, Shah likewise said he would not have gotten away safe without CRPF protection when his escort was supposedly assaulted in Kolkata on Tuesday.

He said West Bengal has seen savagery in all the six phases of Lok Sabha polls. "The BJP is contesting polls in all states. There has been no violence. Be that as it may, there has been violence in West Bengal as TMC is contesting elections there ... it is straightforward," he said.

Shah likewise charged TMC "goons" of vandalizing the bust of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar inside a college, saying it was done to pick up "compassion" as the Mamata Banerjee-drove party has understood its "reverse count" has started.

Blaming the Election board for being a "quiet onlooker" in West Bengal, he asserted that history-sheeters were not captured before polls.

He likewise asserted that the EC has laid "twofold norms" and it has been incomplete towards the Trinamool Congress.
