Picture by Pradip SanyalCPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Wednesday appeared to second Mamata Banerjee’s claim that the BJP had mobilised people from other states to participate in Amit Shah’s road show in Calcutta the evening before. Yechury told a news conference at Alimuddin Street: “Trinamul had claimed that the BJP had brought outsiders for yesterday’s road show. It appears when all of you had interviewed them on television… not a single one could speak Bengali. The CPM leader demanded immediate submission of the CCTV footage recorded by the Election Commission of India of Shah’s road show for identification of the culprits.
