Bankura: Aam Aadmi Party posters made surprise appearances in
Bankura on Monday morning, though no one from
AAP claimed responsibility for them.
The posters — on display at Raniganj More, Lalbazar and Machantala — carried a phone number and a photograph of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
A blame game began between
Trinamool and
BJP, with leaders accusing disgruntled members of the other party of putting up AAP posters to create space for themselves.
“Many Trinamool leaders fear that they might not get tickets for the coming civic polls. There have been open demonstrations by a section of Trinamool in Bankura demanding a ticket for an outgoing councillor. I fear some of them have hung such posters,” said BJP Bankura president Bibekananda Patra.
Trinamool MLA Arup Chakraborty passed the buck to BJP. “You all saw what happened in the BJP office at Katwa. The rebels within BJP may be into this ugly politics,” he said.
