Won’t let TMC-backed goons attack voters: Sovan

“TMC had rigged panchayt, municipal election and every other election in the state. The party-backed miscreants used to terrorize people in previous elections so they could not vote and also bullied and killed opposition party workers. But this time they will not be able to do so as BJP would prevent any attack by TMC goons,” he said.
