Saugram: With West Bengal Assembly elections looming around the corner, yet another political controversy has erupted in the state. This time, an uproar has been triggered after Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Dalim Sheikh purportedly threatened people to vote for the party, saying he will cut them to pieces if they vote for any other party.
Dalim Sheikh was caught on camera issuing the shocking threat to people in Saugram, Birbhum district.
The video, which is now going viral on social media, showed Sheikh raining verbal abuses on locals. He issued a stark warning to them, saying, “If your vote falls in other places we will cut you into pieces…After May 4 you won't be able to stay at your home." The results of the state Assembly elections will be declared on May 4.
Further threatening the voters, Dalim Sheikh said that if the party does not bag its expected number of votes from that area, it will fetch the details of those voters who did not vote for TMC, find out their locations and demolish their houses.

How can you ensure there will be no violence on voting day or they won't be targeted later?”
