    Around six people died in post-poll violence in West Bengal

    The Union Home Ministry has formed a four-member fact-finding team to look into the reasons for the post-poll violence in West Bengal and also assess the ground situation in the state, the officials said on Thursday. The team, led by an additional secretary of the ministry, has left for the state of West Bengal.

    On Wednesday, the ministry had sent a terse reminder to the West Bengal government to submit a detailed report on the post-poll violence and to take necessary measures to stop such incidents "without any loss of time." The ministry had warned that the matter will be taken "seriously" in case the state fails to do so.

    Mamata Banerjee's silence speaks of her involvement: BJP party president

    Claiming that at least 14 BJP workers were killed and nearly one lakh people fled their homes in post-poll violence in West Bengal, party President JP Nadda alleged on Wednesday that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's silence speaks of her involvement. Banerjee rejected the charges, saying violence and clashes were taking place in those areas where the BJP candidates emerged victorious in the election.

    Blaming the BJP for the violence, Banerjee had appealed for peace and warned supporters against falling prey to provocation.

"But even then, I will urge everybody to maintain peace and not to resort to violence," she said.
