West Bengal JP Nadda BJP

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda on 4 May said that the BJP will not tolerate the “blood-stained politics” of those wanting to stay in power in West Bengal. Nadda was speaking to the press after meeting with the bereaved family of dead BJP worker Abhijit Sarkar in Beliaghata, Kolkata. Sarkar was allegedly killed by supporters of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) after results of the West Bengal polls were declared on May 2.

“BJP will not tolerate the blood-stained politics of those wanting to stay in power. Mamata Banerjee’s political pretense and hypocrisy, and the manner in which she says that she wants to bring peace – is this how you bring about peace? We will expose this”, said Nadda.

“We will make the public of West Bengal aware on how the next five years will be spent in their [TMC’s] hands”, the BJP chief added. Nadda is on a two-day visit to the state.

The BJP chief was accompanied by Union Minister V Muraleedharan, state BJP chief Dilip Ghosh and state general secretary Locket Chatterjee.

There are an alarming number of reports of Hindu shops and residences – be they sympathisers of the BJP or the TMC – being attacked and looted by supporters of the TMC across the state of West Bengal. There are also reports of murders and rapes of Hindu women being allegedly perpetrated by the TMC.

Former MP and BJP leader Swapan Dasgupta said that over a thousand Hindu families in Nanoor, Birbhum district of West Bengal, have left their homes, fearing violence from TMC workers.

Meanwhile, the Indic Collective Trust has filed a plea in the Supreme Court, seeking a declaration from the court that the constitutional machinery in the state of West Bengal has broken down, so that President’s rule can be imposed in the State under Article 356 of the Constitution.
