'How many Central teams?' asks Mamata over Tripura poll violence

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who had been on the receiving end of BJP's endless criticism regarding the Bengal post-poll violence, has slammed the Centre over Tripura. While giving a speech, CM Mamata asked, "How many central teams for Tripura poll violence?". She said that she will wait and watch how many teams pay visits to the state.

Meanwhile, at least 21 people were arrested in 18 incidents of poll violence in Tripura since Thursday, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Gitte Kirankumar Dinakarrao said. The state recorded 89.95 percent voter turnout in the election held on Thursday, he said.

18 incidents of violence were reported since February 16, and accordingly FIRs were lodged by the police. A total of 21 persons were arrested while notices were served to over 150 persons for their alleged involvement in the violence," he told a press conference last Saturday.

Six incidents took place on the day of polling, the CEO said. Sepahijala district reported most of the incidents at nine, he said. He claimed that incidents of election-related violence drastically went down this time.
