West Bengal Assembly polls | Frustrated over poor turnout at his rallies, Amit Shah hatching conspiracy to harass us: Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of "hatching a conspiracy" to harass TMC leaders ahead of the elections, and sought to know if the Election Commission is taking instructions from him.

Contending that Mr Shah is "frustrated" over poor turnout at his rallies, Ms Banerjee, while addressing a public meeting here in Bankura district, accused the BJP of plotting to kill her, and claimed that her director of security, Vivek Sahay, was removed from the post by the poll panel, following her injury in Nandigram last week, for this reason. Referring to the alleged attack on her in Nandigram, where she has crossed swords with her protege-turned-adversary Suvendu Adhikari, Ms Banerjee said no injury can stop her from ensuring her party's victory in the assembly polls.
