‘Don’t Risk It’: Opp. Leaders lash out at BJP for its decision to hold nationwide dharna

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Following post poll violence in West Bengal that left many BJP and TMC supporters dead, the saffron party has announced to stage a countrywide strike on Wednesday to protest the killings. Clashes were reported across Bengal on Monday. According to reports, three TMC supporters and one BJP worker were killed in Purba Bardhaman district.

While the TMC has accused the BJP of killing its supports, the saffron camp rejected the ruling party’s charges and said the incidents were the result of “people’s resistance”. TMC supporters were also accused of vandalising the homes and shops of BJP workers in various parts of Galsi.

BJP has claimed that at least five of its activists were killed and thousands of houses belonging to the party’s workers were damaged in attacks by TMC supported miscreants since the declaration of the Assembly election result.

Amid these developments, the party announced its decision to stage a countrywide strike on Wednesday. “The BJP has announced a nationwide dharna on 5th May against the widespread violence unleashed by TMC workers post the election results in West Bengal. This protest will be held following all Covid protocols across all organisational mandals of the BJP,” the BJP tweeted.
