Kolkata: Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh on Thursday attacked BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari over Ram Navami violence in the state.
He also alleged that the ‘anti-Bengal’ BJP’s main intention is to spread violence ahead of the Lok Sabha elections and it is the poll strategy of the saffron party, alleged Ghosh.
In a post on X Ghosh said: “Last year, during Ram Navami, it was BJP that imported its brand of violence in Bengal, with its worker Sumit Shaw brandishing a pistol during a procession in Howrah. This year, on Ram Navami, bombs exploded in the BJP workers’ house – in Jitendra Tiwari’s district – while they were illegally manufacturing explosives. This is the same Jitendra Tiwari who had a backroom meeting with NIA SP a while ago.”
Ghosh also asserted that BJP’s poll strategy of triggering riots ahead of the elections will bear no results as the people of Bengal will give a befitting reply to the BJP through ballots in the election results.
“@SuvenduWB should drop all pretense. People of Bengal know that Bangla-Birodhi @BJP4India’s poll strategy here is to implement their Dangabaji Formula. This ideology of hate will see a Bishorjon in the next few weeks.” Ghosh
said on X. The BJP leaders on Wednesday took out a Ram Navami procession in Howrah with brandishing swords defying Calcutta High Court order. DJ was also used. BJP leaders
