Asansol (West Bengal) [India], May 13 (ANI): BJP leader and candidate from Midnapore Lok Sabha constituency, Agnimitra Paul, cast her vote at a polling booth in Asansol Lok Sabha constituency on Monday. She expressed confidence that the BJP would get a clean sweep in Asansol.
Agnimitra Paul said, "The way in which the Prime Minister has worked in the last 10 years there is no doubt that who is going to win the polls. PM Modi is the face in all the 42 seats in West Bengal and in Asansol, there will be a clean sweep by the BJP's SS Ahluwalia. It does not matter who is in the opposition in Asansol."
On TMC filing a complaint against the BJP and National Commission for Women Chairperson Rekha Sharma in the Sandeshkhali incident, she said that this was being done to get the sympathy of the people.
"They can file a complaint, they have the right but the truth is that they are doing it to get the sympathy of the people in the Sandeshkhali incident. Mamata Banerjee has realised that the Sandeshkhali incident is the last nail in her coffin. She is trying her best to do theatrics and confuse the people of Bengal. If she has to complain, she should go to court," she further said.
The All India Trinamool Congress has filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India seeking criminal proceedings against National Commission for Women (NCW) chief Rekha Sharma and BJP leaders including Piyali Das for "commission of serious offences of forgery, cheating, fraud, intimidation and criminal conspiracy upon innocent women of Sandeshkhali."
Paul further said that TMC is no longer an All India party as the tag has been removed by the Election Commissioner.
"TMC lost in Goa and Tripura so EC has removed their national tag. TMC has a local pappu called Abhishek Banerjee. I have thrown a challenge to him. He said not to allow Agnimitra Paul to enter Asansol and she will lose heavily from Medinipur. So I challenge Abhishek Banerjee to wait for June 4 and see who stops me from coming to Asansol. Mamata Banerjee cannot stop the implementation of CAA as it is not within her power," she further added.
Asansol constituency is seeing the contest between TMC's Shatrughan Sinha and BJP's SS Ahluwalia.
Voting for the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections in 96 Parliamentary Constituencies across nine states and one Union Territory began on Monday at 7:00 am.
Eight seats in West Bengal have gone to the polls today.
Though still a part of the Opposition bloc--INDIA, the TMC chose to go it alone in Bengal and announced candidates for all 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
The Congress and the Left Front have a seat-sharing arrangement in the state under which the Left parties contest 30 seats and the Congress contests the remaining 12 seats.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the TMC took the lion's share of the electoral spoils in the state, at 34, while the BJP had to be content with just 2 seats. The CPI(M) and the Congress won 2 and 4 seats, respectively.
However, in a poll stunner that few saw coming, the BJP turned the tables on the ruling TMC in the 2019 polls, winning 18 seats. The ruling party in the state saw its tally reduced to 22. The Congress fared a lowly third in the tally with just 2 seats while the Left Front was down to just a lone seat. (ANI)
