The forthcoming West Bengal Assembly elections saw the ruling TMC and BJP, which is trying to win the polls locking horns on several issues. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to Bangladesh gave a chance to TMC to target the BJP.
The Ruling TMC had found fault with the Prime Minister's visit to Bangladesh when the Assembly elections in West Bengal are fast approaching.TMC had moved the Election Commission of India against Modi's visit to Bangladesh.
According to the media reports, in the letter to Election Commission, the TMC called Modi's visit as a violation of democratic ethics and termed it as an intention to influence the voting pattern in the elections.
When the time West Bengal is going to witness the Assembly elections, it is not appreciable for the person of a PM stature to violate the model code of conduct, the TMC alleged in the letter.
Narendra Modi visited Bangladesh for a two-day tour on March 26 and 27 marking the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of independence. Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina had formally invited Narendra Modi.
"However, the All lndia Trinamool Congress strongly objects to Shri Modi's programmes in Bangladesh on March 27. These had nothing to do with either the 50th anniversary of the independence of Bangladesh or the birth centenary of 'Bangabandhu'. Rather, they were solely and exclusively intended to influence the voting pattern in certain constituencies in the ongoing elections to the Legislative Assembly of West Bengal," News Agency ANI quoted the TMC as saying in the letter.
