Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Lok Sabha member Kirit Somaiya on Friday said that the National Democratic Alliance team headed by him had compiled its report on the Communist Party of India-Marxist's 'atrocities' in West Bengal.
The NDA's coordination committee, chaired by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, will discuss the report, he said in New Delhi.
He said the team had interacted with 200 socio-political activists during its two-day visit to the state.
On Thursday, it met Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani and briefed him about its observations regarding the 'political terrorism and the demolition of the democratic process by the CPI-M in West Bengal'.
BJP spokesperson Prakash Jhavdekar said the team, comprising Somaiya, Chandrakant Khaire (Shiv Sena), Dr Beatrix D'Souza (Samata Party) and Dr Nitish Sengupta (Trinamool Congress), would also apprise the election commission about its observations.
According to him, the team had found that during the 2003 gram panchayat and zilla parishad elections, the CPI-M, which leads the Left Front government in the state, had terrorised political opponents.
Not only BJP and Trinamool, but also Congress candidates had been unable to file nomination papers because of the CPI-M's terror tactics, he said.
"Why is it that despite being at the receiving end of the CPI-M's terror tactics, the Congress has remained silent?" Jhavdekar asked.
