New Delhi: The BJP on Thursday accused West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee of "murdering democracy" in the state.
Addressing reporters, Bharatiya Janata Party leaders from West Bengal said that they would also meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to inform him about the crimes against humanity that still continue in the state.
"Crime against humanity continues in West Bengal. Be it riots or pre-poll violence. Democracy is being murdered. A concerted effort is being made by Mamata di to gauge democracy," Union Minister Babul Supriyo told a press conference jointly addressed by another Union Minister, S.S. Ahluwalia, and Rajya Sabha lawmakers Rupa Ganguli and Swapan Das Gupta.
"Whatever is happening in West Bengal is crime against humanity. We are going to Rajghat. We have also sought time to meet Rajnath Singh ji. We will also protest in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue in parliament house complex on Friday," Supriyo said alleging that the entire state administration has been behaving like TMC cadres.
Ms Ganguli said BJP cadres who were willing to file nomination for the polls were being targeted and killed.
Mr Ahluwalia stated that Ms Banerjee has ordered the TMC cadres to win the 50 per cent of the total seats unopposed.
Mr Dasgupta dubbed West Bengal as the most violent place in India.
The BJP has also sought the Supreme Court's intervention into the matter.
A total of 58, 467 polling stations will be set up in 20 districts for the over 5.08 crore voters.
