"I have been in West Bengal for past six years and never experienced such peaceful polling since 2016 and I believed this election is so far very peaceful in past 4 decades," Vijayvargiya said.
He said as far as he knew 90 percent polling was peaceful and claimed the ratio to the cent percent in the 2nd phase if all the known criminals are rounded up before April 1.
He said they have given list of criminals to the poll body to take lawful action and ensure total peaceful poll in next 7 phases.

"I can not betray Suvendu Adhikari," Pal replied and thanked Ms Banerjee for calling him on phone.
BJP state president Dilip Ghosh claimed that TMC would draw blank in Jangalmahal districts.
