A BJP delegation on Saturday urged Bengal Chief Electoral Officer Ariz Aftab to take note of a purported audio clip in which Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is heard proposing a rally with the bodies of Cooch Behar firing victims—as “such a move could lead to more tension” in the state amid the ongoing elections.

Senior BJP leader Swapan Dasgupta, who led the delegation to the CEO office, told reporters that he has apprised Aftab of the conversation that apparently took place between Banerjee and the TMC’s Sitalkuchi nominee. He pointed out that it could lead to untoward situations in the next three phases of the assembly elections.
