KOLKATA: A controversy erupted on Friday after the BJP released a purported audio clip in which West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee is heard telling the Trinamool Congress nominee of Sitalkuchi to hold rallies with bodies of the four persons killed in CISF firing during polling on April 10.
The TMC described the audio clip as bogus claiming such a conversation never took place.
PTI could not independently verify the authenticity of the audio clip which was released on the eve of the fifth phase of the polls.
Releasing excerpts of the telephonic conversation between Banerjee and Partha Pratim Ray, the TMC candidate of the Sitalkuchi seat, the BJP s IT Cell chief Amit Malviya claimed that the chief minister is trying to instigate riots by asking her party leaders to take out rallies with bodies .

NEW DELHI â In a move which is expected to significantly ease the process for the re-issuance of Overseas Citizen of India cards, the Indian government said April 15 that it has simplified the process.
Presently, the OCI card is required to be re-issued each time a new passport is issued up to 20 years of age and once after completing 50 years of age, in view of biological changes in the face of the applicant.
With a view to facilitate the OCI cardholders, it has now been decided by the government to dispense with this requirement, the Ministry of Home Affairs said. This decision has been taken on the directions of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 15 (ANI): Seven decades after the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh Shyama Prasad Mookerjee represented the Calcutta South East Lok Sabha constituency, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is engaged in a vigorous battle to preserve his ideological legacy by seeking to win the assembly constituencies that were part of the seat the party ideologue represented.
The BJP appears determined to contest assembly seats in Kolkata and its surroundings with renewed vigour and regain the glory that came with Jan Sangh winning the seat in the country s first Lok Sabha election.
