Kolkata, May 18 (IANS) The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Tuesday filed a complaint with the West Bengal State Election Commission alleging that Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee was trying to incite communal tension through her speeches in election meetings in the city.
Refering to a meeting at Hazra in South Kolkata, ruling CPI-M state secretary Biman Bose said in his complaint that Banerjee had in two recent meetings said that she had seen a secret report that the CPI-M had hatched a conspiracy to spark off communal riots in some localities of the city.
"It is a motivated effort to create an atmosphere of terror. Through these speeches she has broken the model code of conduct for the election. She is fomenting tension, hatred, between various communities. And this is against the Representation of People Act of 1951," he said.
Bose requested the poll panel to take proper action against Banerjee, who is also railway minister, for violating the model code of conduct.
