Main contest in Bengal between TMC and BJP
The main contest in West Bengal is between TMC and BJP. Everyone is waiting to know whether Mamata Banerjee’s government will once again return to the state or BJP will oust TMC from power and gain the throne. Congress and Left parties are also searching for their lost land.
TMC-BJP filed complaints against each other in the Election Commission
The round of allegations and counter-allegations continues in the West Bengal Assembly elections, under which Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) approached the Election Commission on Sunday, accusing each other of threats, hate speech and objectionable comments.
At the center of the controversy is BJP’s Panihati seat candidate and TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee. BJP candidate from Panihati seat is the mother of a rape victim doctor of RG Kar Hospital. The female doctor was murdered after being raped last year. BJP has also hit back at Banerjee for her comments against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
In a complaint sent to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee alleged that the BJP candidate has made “extremely objectionable, threatening and derogatory” statements against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Banerjee, MP from Shrirampur, said that the BJP candidate used abusive language against the Chief Minister and also made statements threatening his life. The TMC leader termed these comments as “deeply worrying” and a threat to democratic values and demanded immediate intervention of the Election Commission.
In his letter to the Election Commission, he said, “Use of abusive words and threats during the electoral process weakens the principles of free and fair elections and creates an atmosphere of fear and hostility among the public.” ”
Demanding strict action against the BJP candidate, Kalyan Banerjee has requested the Election Commission to take cognizance of the matter, order a speedy and impartial investigation and initiate strict legal and disciplinary action against the BJP candidate.
Calling it a part of BJP’s election strategy, TMC alleged that the party is trying to create an atmosphere of conflict and fear in Bengal politics.
Meanwhile, within hours of TMC’s complaint, BJP lodged a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal, accusing Kalyan Banerjee of making “derogatory, inflammatory and hateful” comments against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
The BJP also attached a video clip with its complaint and said this was not a one-time incident, but part of the continuing inflammatory rhetoric by ruling party leaders.
The letter submitted by BJP state unit leader Shishir Bajoria said Kalyan Banerjee’s comments were aimed at “humiliating, inciting and spreading enmity”, thereby increasing tension and polarization in the electoral environment. The BJP alleged that such rhetoric is being made with the tacit consent of the TMC leadership, which shows “systematic disregard” of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
The BJP has demanded the election authorities to hold Banerjee guilty of violating the code of conduct, immediately remove the video containing her statement from public platforms, stop her and other TMC leaders from making such statements and take criminal action under relevant laws.
The Panihati seat has assumed extraordinary political significance as the BJP has fielded a rape victim’s mother in a bid to turn the statewide outrage over the rape and murder of a female trainee doctor last year into an election issue. However, TMC has repeatedly accused the BJP of politicizing a personal tragedy and using the bereaved family as a political weapon against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s government.
