West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress on Friday lodged a complaint with the poll panel against CPI-M leader Mohammed Salim over his warning that the Left Front will take account of all "murderers and executioners" who ran amok during the Trinamool regime, after it comes to power following the assembly polls.

"A complaint was lodged today (Friday) against Salim via Samadhan app over his speech," an official of the Birbhum district election management told IANS on conditions of anonymity.

Addressing an election rally in in Labhpur of Birbhum district, the Communist Party of India-Marxist politburo member said: "After the elections, we will take account of all murderers and executioners.

"We will take account of every drop of blood of our men who have embraced martyrdom."
