West Bengal BJP leader’s convoy attacked

Barasat, February 20

A convoy of cars led by West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh was on Saturday attacked in North 24 Parganas district, triggering a scuffle between activists of the saffron party and the ruling Trinamool Congress, police said.

While the BJP accused the Trinamool Congress of attacking the rally at Minakha, the ruling party denied the charge and alleged that workers of the saffron camp ransacked its party office in the area.

Police said that at least two vehicles, which were at the rear part of the saffron party’s ‘Parivartan Yatra’ rally, were damaged after stones were thrown at them at Malancha under Minakha police station area. The BJP launched Parivartan Yatra rallies ahead of the assembly election in the state, which is likely to be held in April-May. — PTI
