The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Saturday said the polling for the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) election was conducted ‘peacefully’ and alleged that the opposition was suffering from an illness called ‘excusitis’.
TMC spokesperson Derek O’Brien rubbished the opposition’s call for re-polls.
“We want to thank the people of Bengal for voting peacefully. Out of thousands of booth, one or two minor incidents might have happened, but by and large it was a very peaceful poll,” said O’Brien.
“For the opposition, they know that they are going to lose. So, they are all suffering from an illness and this illness in Bengal is called ‘excusitis’. In other words, they only want to make excuses, excuses, excuses,” he added.
Expressing confidence about his party’s spectacular show in the KMC election, O’Brien said the people of the state trust West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the TMC.
“Trinamool will do very well, we are confident because people want to see development, they don’t want to hear big talk. The people trust Mamta Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress,” he said.
Earlier today, a TMC worker reportedly threatened and attacked the mediapersons in Garden Reach area during the voting for the KMC election. (ANI)
