No need to deploy central forces
Mamata Banerjee also went on to say that . “There are 61,000 booths and the Centre is just focusing on two stray incidents.” In a response to Calcutta high court order to deploy central forces,”You have got central forces in Manipur too, yet a minister’s house was burnt and over 150 people were killed.” Mamata Banerjee alleged that the central government is “just searching for an excuse to deploy central forces in West Bengal.”
