Attacks on Opposition parties increased after poll results: LF

Left Front chairman Biman Bose today said that attacks on the opposition parties in West Bengal increased after the declaration of Assembly results.
"In the 2011 Assembly elections, we accepted the verdict of the people and played a constructive role as an Opposition. In 2016 also we said that but the attacks have increased," Bose said at a protest-meeting here.
He alleged that activists of the ruling Trinamool Congress are spreading "terror" against Opposition in Kolkata and in the districts.
"There were elections in five other states also but attacks are taking place only in West Bengal," he said alleging that their party offices were being attacked and in some cases houses of their supporters burnt down.

In the protest-meeting which will also be held tomorrow at Esplanade, Congress leaders Krishna Debnath, Abdul Manan, Manoj Chakraborty and Omprakash Mishra were also present.
Asked about the Left-Congress alliance by reporters, Bose said, "We are together fighting against terror and killings that are taking place in the state".
