ISF’s Naushad Siddiqui said – TMC wants to win elections by taking lives of people
Bhaskar’s reporter Akshay Bajpai spoke to Naushad Siddiqui, the lone ISF MLA, about the violence. He said that from the day the nominations started in my assembly, TMC people started putting pressure on the general public.

He said, TMC goons bombed where we live in the night of July 7 as well. Those people know that if the common man casts more votes then he will vote against the government, so they were creating such an atmosphere that people could not vote.

TMC’s local leaders take cut money, so common people have now decided that they will not vote for them. If this happens, then the livelihood of the leaders associated with the ruling party will stop. After losing the election in Bhangar, TMC now wants to win the panchayat in its favor, even if it means taking someone’s life.
