Lashing out at central forces for allegedly trying to terrorize voters, Trinamool Congress MP Suvendu Adhikari today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP of sending central forces to terrorize voters.
"The central forces are terrorizing voters. They are seen beating and threatening voters. The BJP and (Prime Minister) Modi have sent the central forces with the sole intention of terrorizing voters and creating havoc on the poll day," Adhikari, also party candidate from Nandigram assembly seat, told PTI.
He, however, expressed confidence that people would cast their votes in favour of development work ushered in by TMC. "People will give a befitting reply to the reign of terror," Adhikari said.
Election Commission has deployed 361 companies of central forces who are being assisted by a contingent of 12,000 state police person for the sixth and last phase of polls today in East Midnapore and Cooch Behar districts.
