A day after Trinamool’s Saket Gokhale has arrested again, party leader Derek O’Brien has accused the Election Commission of India of “looking away” when a BJP Chief Minister and an actor turned BJP MP spread communal bile during the Gujarat election
New Delhi: Derek O’Brien, the Trinamool leader, has accused the Election Commission of India of “looking away” when a BJP Chief Minister and an actor who later became a BJP MP “spread communal bile during Gujarat election” a day after Trinamool’s Saket Gokhale was arrested once more after being released on bail in an alleged “fake tweet” case against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. That’s why the Supreme Court believes that EC is a stooge, he said.
BJP CM & an actor turned BJP MP spread communal bile during Gujarat election.
