The ruling Trinamool Congress Friday began its 48-hour-long sit-in against the BJP's alleged attempt to malign West Bengal by urging the ECI to declare all booths in the state as "super sensitive".
Women activists of the TMC organised the sit-in at Esplanade in the heart of the city.
The saffron party, however, described the dharna as a drama.
The BJP does not have a base in Bengal and yet it is hoping to win the elections by using central forces, Chandrima Bhattacharya, the party's women cell chief, claimed.
The BJP and its leaders are living in a fool's paradise, she said.
They can deploy one paramilitary jawan for every voter and "we will still win the elections", Bhattacharya said.
"The law and order situation is fine in Bengal. Despite this, the BJP is demanding that the state be declared super sensitive," Bhattacharya said.
She asked, is it not an insult to the people of West Bengal?
