New Delhi: The BJP on Sunday termed the attack on its candidate Bharati Ghosh an “act of frustration” by the ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, and said it would complain to the EC for action. BJP leader and Union minister Prakash Javadekar said a party team will meet the EC over the alleged incidents of violence in Ghatal.
Ghosh was allegedly attacked twice when the former IPS officer tried to visit polling booths in the constituency during the sixth phase of polling.
Officials said in Kolkata Ghosh suffered minor injuries when a group of women allegedly attacked her as she tried to take a BJP agent inside a polling booth in Keshpur. One of her security guards was injured when locals pelted stones at another booth. “It clearly shows the sheer desperation by Mamata Banerjee and her TMC,” Javadekar said.
