She knows if she will come here, she will have to face the victims. What answer will she give? She did not come because she knows she could not face us."All seven phases of the Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal were marred by violence, with both the BJP and the TMC trading blame over the issue.BJP has made deep inroads into the Trinamool citadel by winning 18 Lok Sabha seats and cutting the TMC down to size by limiting its win in only 22 seats against 34 it bagged in 2014.In the Lok Sabha polls, BJP secured a clear majority with 303 seats, while Congress was at a distant 52.( With inputs from ANI )
