BJP questions Election Commission`s impartiality |
BJP president Amit Shah`s roadshow in Kolkata on Tuesday ended up in violent clashes between Trinamool Congress youth members and BJP workers at College Street in the northern part of the city. The clashes broke out near the iconic Presidency College and Calcutta University after `black flags were waved` at Shah and stones were allegedly pelted at his convoy from the hostels of Vidyasagar College. Reacting to the incident, Shah said that the people of Bengal will respond to such incidents on May 19, the last day of polling. TMC workers attacked us and tried to sabotage the roadshow while the police remained mute spectators. Amit Shah also held a press conference in the national capital on Wednesday, attended by Nirmala Sitharaman and Prakash Javadekar. Addressing the media, BJP President said, the election commission in Bengal has become a mute spectator, the Election Commission should intervene immediately. The roadshow, which saw Shah travel a 5-km distance between central and north Kolkata, was attended by thousands of party workers and supporters.
