Bengal Civic Polls: BJP Alleges Trinamool Congress Burnt Down Tent In Midnapore

Trinamool Congress called it a false and baseless allegation.

Amid the polling for West Bengal local body elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders on Sunday alleged that Trinamool Congress (TMC) "goons burnt down a booth in Midnapore municipality".

The TMC, however, refuted the BJP charges.

Speaking to ANI, BJP vice president of the Midnapore unit, Sankar K Guchhait, said, "A BJP workers' tent near booth no 183 in Midnapore municipality of ward number eight was found burnt in the morning. This incident took place last night."

He alleged that no police arrived on the spot to take stock of the situation. "I condemn the TMC government for the incident," he said.
