CPI(M) state Secretary Surya Kanta Mishra today shot off a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner and urged them to ensure safety and security of voters in the wake of alleged post-poll violence.
On the other hand, the Trinamool Congress pledged for upholding peace and harmony in the state and honour the mandate of the masses.
"Unfortunately, in West Bengal attacks are mounting on voters by the hooligans of the ruling Trinamool, with tacit support from a section of state police. In many parts of the state children, aged persons, women, polling agents and polling personnel are either being injured or being murdered by Trinamool Congress criminals ever since the different phases of polls are completed," Mishra said in the letter.
We strongly feel it is the responsibility of the EC to ensure protection to the citizens who are subjected to such "barbaric attacks" because of their participation in the democratic process of casting vote, Mishra said.
The TMC has however refuted the allegations of post-poll violence perpetrator charge that has been levelled against them.
"Let's pledge for upholding peace and harmony across the state ignoring all sorts of provocation that could trigger violence. Let us accept and honour the mandate of the people which will be reflected tomorrow through the ballots," TMC Vice-President Mukul Roy said.
