New Delhi: A BJP delegation will meet the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday evening demanding action against a Trinamool Congress MLA for reportedly threatening the party voters.
Another BJP delegation will meet the chief electoral officer (CEO) of West Bengal in Kolkata.
The BJP has alleged that Trinamool MLA from Pandaveswar, Naren Chakraborty is seen issuing open threats to BJP voters and supporters ahead of Asansol Lok Sabha bypolls.
Sources said that a BJP delegation will meet the Chief Election Commissioner in Delhi at 5 p.m. and another delegation to meet CEO in Kolkata at 4 p.m.
“BJP parliamentarians from West Bengal will be part of a delegation which will meet the Chief Election Commissioner to urge him to take action against Chakraborty for issuing threats to BJP voters,” a party insider said.
Earlier in the day sharing the video, West Bengal BJP co-incharge Amit Malviya tweeted, “TMC’s Pandaveswar (Asansol) MLA Naren Chakraborty, is seen issuing open threats to BJP voters and supporters, asking them not to come out and vote, or else face consequences. Such criminals should be behind bars but in Bengal Mamata Banerjee patronises them. ECI must take note.”
Rajya Sabha member and BJP national media in-charge Anil Baluni tweeted, “Naren Chakraborty, MLA of Mamata Banerjee’s TMC from Pandaveswar, is openly issuing threats to the voters of Asansol in a press conference saying that it will make difficult to stay in Bengal if they vote for BJP.”
