TMC blasts BJP for 'attack', says Central Forces working in cahoots with BJP

New Delhi, May 15 (UNI) All India Trinamool Congress on Wednesday took BJP head-on over the ''attack'' that was witnessed in BJP President Amit Shah's roadshow in West Bengal and alleged that the ''Central forces are working in cahoots with the BJP''.

Addressing a press conference here over the ''assault'' on BJP's roadshow in West Bengal on Tuesday, Trinamool Congress parliamentary party leader Derek O'Brien said, ''We will bring this matter to the notice of Election Commission.''

Showing two more pictures, he said, ''BJP candidates are walking into booths. Moreover, Central forces are going into the booths and saying vote for BJP (BJP ko vote do), hence it is clear that the Central forces are working in cahoots with BJP.''

Earlier in the day, Shah addressing a press conference here said, ''If Mamata Banerjee thinks that violence will help her win elections, I want to tell her - Didi, you may be senior to me in age but I have more experience. I want to advise you on elections - more 'kichad (mud) of violence' you spread, more Lotus will bloom.''

Shah also presented visual evidence to buttress his allegation that it wasn't his party's cadre that triggered the violence and accused Trinamool Congress of destroying of 19th century reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's bust in an attempt to gain sympathy.
