Bengal panchayat polls | BJP fact-finding team to visit violence-hit areas

A BJP fact-finding team, which arrived in West Bengal on July 12, said it will visit areas hit by poll violence and speak to victims to assess the ground situation.

The four-member team led by former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said it plans to visit north and south Bengal districts.

“Violence and killings during rural polls are unacceptable. So many people have been killed; why have so many people had to die in this election? We will visit the violence-hit areas of north and south Bengal. Later, we will submit our report to our national president J.P. Nadda,” Mr. Prasad told reporters at the airport.
