The attack on the BJP MP comes a month after TMC cadres had attacked BJP MP and Union minister V Muraleedharan’s convoy in Panchkhudi of West Midnapore. The BJP leader’s car was severely damaged in the attack.
Political Violence in West Bengal:
Following the West Bengal assembly elections, the political violence against BJP workers and supporters has continued unabated, despite a landslide victory by the ruling TMC. Several BJP workers are reported to have been brutally murdered in the post-poll violence that the state witnessed after the results of the state’s Vidhan Sabha was declared.
The BJP has alleged that the number of party workers killed since the announcement of poll results on May 2 is over two dozen. At least 24 such BJP workers have had to bear the brunt of believing in a political ideology and voting for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state.
Besides unleashing political violence, the TMC goons have allegedly burnt down BJP party offices to ashes at various locations. Horrifying videos of women being attacked and assaulted by the TMC goons have surfaced on social media.
