Derek O’Brien told the dark day
Lok Sabha MP and TMC leader Derek O’Brien has given his response to the Election Commission’s decision. He tweeted, “April 12. Black day of our democracy”.
Mamta Banerjee said this
Mamta Banerjee had said in a public meeting, “I request my minority brothers and sisters to join hands and not allow the minority votes to be divided.” BJP is plotting to divide minority votes. ” On 7 April, Mamta Banerjee also talked about encircling the central forces in Cooch Behar. He had said, “If the central forces stop, then I would like to tell women that some people surround them and some vote.”
PM Modi did the counterattack
PM Modi targeted Mamata Banerjee’s statement of being of minority votes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said during a public meeting that no notice was sent to Mamata Banerjee by the Election Commission, but if we had said that all Hindus would have become one, the Election Commission notice would have come by now.
