  • Twitter users schooled him on compassion. A user by the handle @delhi_lawyer wrote, "Every life matters, Mr bournvita."

    Another user Kanchan Srivastava wrote, "These 40 lives do matter, Sir. Didn't expect an "expert" like you to normalise the murders."

    "Kids, let's get one thing straight - under NO circumstances "but we killed less people" can be used to justify ANYTHING," wrote Karnika Kohli.

    It's a fall from grace for Derek O'Brein

  • I can’t believe I am reading this, a person who I admired once. SORRY no comparison, no percentage can justify the violence, the illegal acts are out in open. Here you are admiting the law order has gone for a toss in your party ruled state even justifying it. What a shame. https://t.co/CYiWUqTtIk

  • In Sonadangi, a ballot box was retrieved by locals from a pond, while in Murshidabad, ballot papers were thrown in a water-body by warring TMC and BJP leaders.

    Violence was reported from different areas, and TMC workers were accused of terrorizing voters by CPI (M) and BJP.

    Considering, how voting was made a mockery of, shouldn't Election Commission cancel it?
