Kolkata: The Election Commission today ordered filing of an FIR against Trinamool Congress legislator Sonali Guha after she was caught on camera allegedly ordering party workers to beat CPM polling agents.
"Mere baar kore dis CPM agent der ekdom, ora EVM kharap kore rekhe diyeche. (Drive out the CPI-M agents by beating them, they have damaged the EVM)," Ms Guha was heard as telling someone over phone. The conversation was recorded by TV channels.
Ms Guha, also the deputy speaker in the outgoing West Bengal Assembly, is the Trinamool candidate from South 24 Parganas district's Satgachia constituency.
The Election Commission officials said after hearing her comments on TV they have asked the district authorities to file an FIR against her in this case.
Meanwhile, when contacted for her reaction to the Election Commission's order, Ms Guha told Press Trust of India: "I have done no wrong and I don't want to give any reaction."
Asked whether she had indeed asked her party cadres to assault CPI(M) agents, Ms Guha said, "I will just say I have done no wrong."
