‘Ensure TMC finds no ground in Jhargram’: Suvendu Adhikari

Reacting to his statement, TMC MP Sougata Roy said Adhikari has “crossed all levels of political decency”. “He is daydreaming. BJP will lose the election. We will not tolerate this kind of veiled attacks against our party leaders. He has crossed all levels of decency. He has been levelling false allegations every day. Either he must give proof to substantiate his allegations or he must face action,” said Roy.

Meanwhile, the BJP claimed that some of its members were attacked by TMC workers after Suvendu Adhikari’s rally in Contai on Sunday. To mark their protest, BJ workers put up a road blockade in Contai in East Midnapore district and organised a protest outside Contai Police Station demanding action against the culprits.

Meanwhile, sources said the Kolkata Police have denied permission to the BJP to hold a massive road show of its leaders Sovan Chatterjee and Baisakhi Banerjee in Kolkata on Thursday. According to the source, the police dis not allow the road show to take place as it is the first day of the week and a road show by the party would lead to massive traffic snarls. The party initially planned to take the Road Show from Alipore to the state BJP headquarters in Central Kolkata via Taratala, Tollygunge, Hazra and Esplanade. Later, the route was changed – from Hastings to state BJP headquarters. However, despite the change of route, the police are yet to grant permission.
