BJP team visits Bengal over post-poll violence

A four-member central team from the BJP visited Coochbehar on Monday to assess the situation following alleged violence against party workers in West Bengal after the Lok Sabha elections.

 

The team includes convenor Biplab Deb, senior leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, and Rajya Sabha MPs Brij Lal and Kavita Patidar.

 

The BJP delegation plans to meet with party workers who were reportedly displaced from their homes due to the alleged violence that erupted after the Lok Sabha poll results were announced on June 4.

 

Deb told reporters that post-poll violence has become a recurring issue with the Trinamool Congress, urging the ruling party to cease such actions.

 

“The sooner TMC changes this stance of attacking opposition parties, the better it will be for the party,” Deb stated.

 

On Tuesday, the BJP team will visit various locations in Kolkata to meet other affected party workers.
