Nandigram: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee witnessed ruckus and intense sloganeering when she reached a polling sales space in Nandigram because the constituency went to polls on Thursday (April 1).
Allegations of sales space capturing have been rife even because the chants of “Jai Shree Ram” echoed via the realm.
Banerjee, who was visibly indignant on the chaos, referred to as up Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar complaining of a complete breakdown of law and order on the polling sales space. She alleged that non-Bangla talking “outsiders” have been creating ruckus in the realm.Â
“None of the people are speaking in the Bengali language. All of them are outsiders. They are goons sent from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and they are being protected by Central forces,” Banerjee stated.
“I have lodged 63 poll-related complaints since morning, but no action has been taken by the Election Commission,” she added.
Moments after Banerjee’s name, the Governor responded via Twitter. He assured that the rule of law will probably be upheld.
“Issues flagged Mamata Banerjee a while ago on phone have been imparted to the concerned. There is full assurance of the concerned to adherence to rule of law. Am confident all will act in right spirit and earnestness so that democracy flourishes,” the Governor stated in a tweet.
