Union Minister Nitin Gadkari urged TMC to not politicise Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s accident. Gadkari said that polls dignify the country’s democratic traditions and they shouldn’t be tarnished. On the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections, Gadkari said, “From BJP, we are going and she should also come to people's court and put forward whatever she wants to say. And then should go ahead by accepting the decision of the public.”
