Mamata Virtually Holds EC Responsible for Party Workers’ Killings

The TMC lashed out at the Election Commission for its “step-motherly” treatment of West Bengal.

Claiming that eight of her party workers were murdered by CPI(M) supporters in the last seven days, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday virtually held the Election Commission (EC) responsible for political killings.

Her close lieutenant and Trinamool vice president Mukul Roy too echoed the party supremo and even threatened to bring the bodies to the EC office in Kolkata if the killings of Trinamool workers did not stop.

Now that elections have been declared, police are under the Election Commission. The EC is keeping a watch on police. Now the EC is looking after law and order. In the past seven days, eight Trinamool Congress workers were killed by the CPI-M.”“Who has given the right to the CPI-M to kill? They are murdering every day.
