Kolkata: After incidents of violence were reported in several parts of West Bengal during polling on Monday in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections, West Bengal Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari claimed that TMC goons were behind the incident, adding that they tried to influence the polls but the central paramilitary forces restricted the violence.

"PM Modi has stated that TMC's approach has been hooliganism and violence. They register fake cases against BJP leaders. The areas that have reported poll violence have been orchestrated by the TMC goons. Central paramilitary forces have given full protection to the booths. ECI has made arrangement of web casting, which has secured the booths from inside. This time, polling agents from the BJP have been increased compared to 2019 and 2021 Assembly polls," said Suvendu.

Further expressing confidence in BJP's victory in West Bengal, Suvendu said the state will also witness Modi wave and BJP will win in lot of places.

"In some areas influenced by TMC goons, voters are being stopped from voting. The control room of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) in Kolkata is monitoring the activities and after getting information, the quick response team is responding within 30 minutes. Polling is not 100 percent fair but TMC is not able to resort to dishonest acts like in the past. We are confident polling percentage will be 80 per cent. In Bengal also, you will see the Modi wave."

He also stressed that IPAC and Abhishek Banerjee have re-ignited the Sandeshkhali issue amid polling, adding that the issue was forgotten for some time. Further coming down heavily on the Sandeshkhali issue, Suvendu went on to say that Abhishek Banerjee will also face the same fate as "TMC goons, who were hit by residents of Sandeshkhali."
