Mamata Banerjee asked state minister Shashi Panja to file an FIR immediately. She also ordered everyone to keep an eye on the surroundings

A Trinamool Congress leader seeks blessings from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during a sit-in dharna on the fourth day of a protest against alleged arbitrary deletions from the post-SIR electoral rolls

On the fourth day of the anti-SIR dharna in Esplanade on Monday, CM Banerjee said, "I am warning everyone who is on the dharna. BJP is trying to distribute leaflets through outside agencies. Catch them red-handed. Hand them over to the police. They have no right to enter the programmes of other political parties"

She further stated, "BJP is distributing leaflets near the protest dais. They should be caught in the act. I am giving the responsibility to Shashi Panja to file an FIR against them. They have no right to enter here. If they do wrong, they will be punished"

Banerjee also called the BJP a party of cowards. "A party of cowards. People are not coming to their rallies. They do not have the support of the people. They have come to distribute leaflets to Trinamool workers," she stated

The BJP, however, has denied this allegation. At a press conference on Monday, party leader Rahul Singh said, "BJP is not distributing any leaflets to them [Trinamool] there. They are doing this and blaming it on BJP. Those who reached there with placards also have their rights."
