The BJP said it would complain to the Election Commission that Mamata Banerjee is “spreading lies about the attack for politics”.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a day after Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged an attack in which she suffered injuries to her leg and neck, said it would complain to the Election Commission that she’s “spreading lies about the attack for politics”.
To complain against the Chief Minister’s allegation, a delegation of BJP leaders will reportedly meet Election Commission officials in Kolkata.
Posting what it said were witness accounts from the spot, the Bengal BJP tweeted: “Not one eye witness seems to corroborate Mamata Banerjee’s ‘attack’ version. People of Nandigram are upset and angry at her for blaming them and bringing disrepute.”
“Clearly she is nervous about her prospects in Nandigram and has now lost confidence, if any, of the people too…” it further added.
State BJP vice-president Arjun Singh said: “She did drama for sympathy.”
