News Desk: In a huge development, West Bengal BJP MP Dilip Ghosh filed a complaint against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for provoking violence in the state. As per the plaint registered with the Kotwali Police Station in West Medinipur, Ghosh claimed that she tried to wedge a divide between the locals and outsiders from the beginning of the Assembly election campaign. Maintaining that her diatribe against “outsiders” was unlawful, he opined that the TMC supremo should be held responsible for any violence resulting out of the linguistic divide.
Moreover, the Medinipur MP accused the WB CM of instigating the people to attack the Central Armed Police Forces. In a speech dated April 7, Banerjee told the crowd, “And if CAPF create disturbances, I tell you ladies, a group of you go and gherao them while another group will go to cast their votes. Don’t waste your waste. If you engage yourself only in restraining them they will be happy that you did not cast your vote”.
Moreover, she also warned the CAPF that they would face legal consequences for their acts and high-handedness at the “behest of BJP” after elections. Ghosh also delved into the violence unleashed in the state since the declaration of the Assembly election results. On May 2, TMC swept the polls by winning 213 seats trouncing its nearest rival BJP that could bag only 77 seats. He has claimed that at least 21 BJP workers have been killed in the last few days while over 15,000 incidents of violence have taken place.
