Central Forces Assaulting People, Asking To Vote For BJP: Mamata Banerjee

Mamata Banerjee also alleged that BJP forcibly occupied polling booths and attacked Trinamool candidates.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday claimed that central forces "assaulted" voters in several constituencies where polling was underway, "instructing" them to vote for the BJP. Ms Banerjee also alleged that BJP forcibly occupied polling booths and attacked Trinamool candidates. Addressing a public meeting in Alipurduar district, the Trinamool boss accused the Election Commission of turning a blind eye to the "excesses" of the CRPF, CISF, BSF and the ITBP. "They are beating and torturing people since morning. They are saying ''BJP ko vote do'' (vote for the BJP)," the chief minister said.
