BJP Dilip Ghosh accused Trinamool Congress of spreading violence

Kolkata, April 3: In wake of violence in Bengal over filing of nominations for the upcoming Panchayat polls, state BJP President Dilip Ghosh on Tuesday accused the state's ruling Trinamool Congress of attacking their party activists and warned it could expect an equal response.

"They have stopped others candidates from submitting the nomination forms in some places. I can guarantee that even if Congress and CPI-M steps back, BJP will give candidates and fight in the elections in those areas. If needed we will take our people to counter them and file the nominations," Ghosh said.

"The counter attack has already started (by the BJP) at some places. That will continue. We have our 'Pratiraksha Committee' is in place, they would be used on the polling day if some outsiders come to cast votes," he warned.

"In every Panchayat elections here nearly 70 to 100 people die. I think this election will not be any exception. We will certainly ready to pay them back in their own coin," he said.
