CPI(M) accuses TMC of unleashing terror, lashes out at EC

April 21, 2016 12:37

The killing of a CPI(M) polling agent in Murshidabad district today kicked off a blame game between CPI(M) and TMC, with the Left party alleging that TMC had unleashed a "reign of terror" while EC was only acting as a "mute spectator".

The TMC denied the allegations and said the killing was a fallout of differences between CPI(M) and Congress.

The 35-year-old CPI(M) polling agent, Tahidul Islam, was today killed and his body was found lying outside a polling booth at Shibapara area under Domkal Assembly seat in Murshidabad district where third phase polling is on. An earlier report had identified Tahidul Islam to be a CPI(M) supporter.
