Kolkata, Feb 10 (TIWN) Trinamool Congress legislator Madan Mitra triggered a row on Thursday after he claimed that the party will make 'seekh kebab' during the forthcoming panchayat elections in West Bengal.

The purported remark drew sharp criticism from the BJP and CPI(M), as they alleged that the comment was indicative of the possibility of political violence during the rural polls, while the TMC tried to make light of the comment, claiming it was made allegorically.  A purported video footage telecast on television channels showed the Kamarhati MLA, in a function in his constituency on the outskirts of Kolkata, responding to reporters' queries about the party's line of action in the panchayat polls.
