North 24 Paraganas (West Bengal) [India], June 6 (ANI): West Bengal BJP President Dr Sukanta Majumdar visited party workers affected by post-poll violence in North 24 Paraganas on Thursday.
He alleged that his party workers were attacked and their houses were looted by people carrying TMC flags.
He said, “Our party workers were attacked and their houses looted. Money and jewellery were looted. I was also attacked by those carrying TMC flags.”
The state BJP president left Kolkata to meet the affected BJP workers and supporters of the Basirhat Lok Sabha constituency in North 24 Parganas. Trinamool workers stopped Sukanta Majumdar’s convoy as soon as it entered Minakhan. The police came and drove them away and intercepted Sukanta Majumdar’s convoy.
He said that he would meet with the Superintendent of Police of the district and inform them about these matters.
Earlier West Bengal opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday wrote to Governor CV Ananda Bose, raising concerns about the All India Trinamool Congress’ alleged role in post-poll violence, urging him to take steps to prevent a recurrence of the situation after elections in 2021.
In a letter to the Governor of West Bengal, BJP leader Adhikari said that after the 2024 Parliamentary General Election results were announced on June 4, “goons of the ruling dispensation” has gone “berserk upon the workers of BJP” in West Bengal.
“As has become synonymous now with the State of West Bengal, the goons of the ruling dispensation has gone berserk upon the workers of BJP after the declaration of results of the Parliamentary General Elections, 2024 which was announced on 4th June, 2024,” Adhikari said.
“This seems to be a repeat of the incidents which had transpired after the declaration of the results of the 2021 assembly election results in Bengal, which had resulted in the death of several BJP karyakartas,” he said.
Adhikari further alleged that, the Central Armed Paramilitary Forces, stationed after the polls, are not being utilized to control the worsening situation where the the ruling party’s goons are targeting BJP workers. (ANI)
