TMC leaders denied their party-men's involvement in this attack. <br/>Meanwhile, TMC chairperson and Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee's warning to state Police officers against siding with the Central forces and conducting voting in curfew-like terrorized situation has elicited strong criticism from the Opposition.<br/><br/>BJP leader Jaiprakash Mazumdar said, Mamata's statement is nothing but a senseless indulgence of a defeated leader. By this stand Mamata has only endorsed the people's observation that her is a defeating side, said Mazumdar.<br/><br/>CPI-M leader and MP, Mohammad Salim said the TMC leader by her statement again proved that she does not believe in democratic norms that enable people to cast vote freely and peacefully. Congress leader, Abdul Mannan said Ms. Banerjee is infuriated because she has not been able to conduct these polls as the grossly rigged civic elections held last year.<br/><br/><br/>Addressing election rallies in Purba Medinipur last evening, Ms. Banerjee had criticized the Election Commission and the role of Central forces in the ongoing elections. Alleging that they were acting to help CPI-M, Congress and BJP in looting the votes, Mamata warned the Police officers that their siding with the Central forces is being monitored by her and they will not be spared afterwards.
