West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has made a big charge and has now accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of hatching a conspiracy to harass Trinamool Congress leaders ahead of the assembly elections in the state and wondered whether the Election Commission is working as per his instructions.
In a report by ANI, she said, Farmers have been protesting for 6 months now, however, the ministers are not holding talks with them. All the ministers are here, in Bengal, where they have booked hotels & conspiring to kill me, destroy TMC & how to file cases against TMC with the help of EC
Claiming that Shah is getting “frustrated” by “poor turnout” at his rallies, Banerjee also alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party is plotting conspiracies to kill her as her security director Vivek Sahay was removed by the Election Commission after she sustained injuries last week in Purba Medinipur’s Nandigram.
Referring to the alleged “attack” on her in Nandigram, Banerjee said no one will stop her from taking forward her battle against the BJP.
“Amit Shah is getting frustrated as there is a poor turnout at his rallies. Instead of running the country, he is sitting in Kolkata and hatching a conspiracy to harass TMC leaders. What do they want? Do they want to kill me? Do they think that they will win this election by killing me? They are wrong,” she said while addressing a rally.
Banerjee also wondered whether the Election Commission has lost its independence, and alleged that the poll panel is working as per Shah’s instructions
“Is Amit Shah running the EC? He is giving instructions to the EC. What happened to their independence? My director, security (Vivek Sahay) was removed (by EC) as per his instructions,” she alleged.
