A spokesman for the home ministry said in a tweet: "Opposition is being targeted in post-election violence. The Home Ministry has called for a report from the West Bengal government.

However, at a press conference today, state BJP president Dilip Ghosh was complained, after realeased the vote result, our 5 workers of the party were killed within 24 hours. Thousands of workers are homeless. They have been kept in different places. Several thousand houses have been vandalized.

During our more than an hour interaction @MamataOfficial my primary focus was that the Government takes all steps to ensure the post poll violence, arson, loot and killings end.

It is unfortunate that many lives have been lost, several injured, houses torched in this violence.
