Notably, Banerjee on Monday began her full-scale campaign for the July 8 panchayat elections from North Bengal's Cooch Behar.

While speaking at an election rally, Banerjee accused the BSF of scaring voters in the bordering areas of the state at the behest of the saffron camp and asked the police administration to keep a close watch on their activities.

"I have information that in the run up to the panchayat election, some BSF officials are visiting the border areas, threatening voters and forcing them not to vote. I will ask people not to be scared of their tactics and fearlessly participate in the elections," she said.

Asserting that Trinamool will defeat BJP in the three-tier rural polls, Banerjee said, "We will then oust the BJP from the Centre and bring a development-oriented government in the country."

The TMC supremo also asked people to send photographs of those who seek bribes, and "prompt action will be taken against the corrupt."

Around 5.67 crore voters are likely to exercise their franchise in the panchayat polls to elect nearly 75,000 candidates in zilla parishads, panchayat samiti and gram panchayats.

The election will be held in a single phase on July 8, with vote counting scheduled for July 11.
