Reacting to Union Minister Anurag Thakur's remark against West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee over the panchayat polls violence, TMC MP Saket Gokhale said that Thakur was banned by the EC from campaigning in Delhi 2020 polls after he raised 'goli maaro' slogan. Gokhale added, "Ironic that he speaks of poll violence. He should visit Manipur instead of making silly statements."
