BJP leaders on Tuesday asked the Election Commission to stop West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from campaigning after BJP president Amit Shah's rally was attacked with stones in Kolkata but their political rival said she was not to blame.

"She holds a constitutional post but has been using unconstitutional comments, asking her party workers to take revenge and indulge in violence. She is complicit," said BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi after visiting the Election Commission's office in Delhi. 

Naqvi alleged Banerjee had "provoked" her Trinamool Congress workers to attack BJP members.
