West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee alleged on Thursday that Central forces deployed in her constituency were helping the BJP under instructions of Union Home Minister Amit Shah hours after she was holed up in a polling booth to look into allegations of rigging.
Mamata alleged that the Election Commission was following instructions of Shah and not acting on complaints of alleged irregularities that she and her party had lodged. She also threatened to move court.
"The CRPF, BSF are acting under the instructions of Home Minister Amit Shah....they are only helping the BJP," she told reporters outside a polling station in Nandigram constituency, according to PTI.
