Kolkata, May 8: Fearing to lose the election and trying their level best to demean democracy, the Trinamool Congress has once again signified their hooligan attitude. Signifying it as always, this time the TMC goons attacked the convoy of the BJP’s Bengal unit president Dilip Ghosh and Assam Deputy Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma at Khejuri in East Midnapore district. The two leaders were reportedly taking part in a road show near Khejuri in support of the party’s Kanthi Lok Sabha candidate Debasish Samanta when the attack took place.

It has been reported that two cars of the convoy were completely broken down even as supporters of the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress allegedly surrounded the convoy from all sides. Bricks were allegedly hurled at an open jeep, while two cars and as many number of motorcycles were vandalised.

Stooping down low, the TMC goons did not allow the CRPF jawans to even rescue the duo. In a series of tweet, Himanta Biswa Sarma posted videos and pictures of the incident, he wrote, “The @crpfindia personnel are helping us to gradually move away from here. Three @BJP4Bengal workers are taken away by .@AITCofficial goons in front of police / Kultha Bazar, under PS Khejuri and kept in TMC union office. Goons have damaged 20+ motorbikes.”

 

Earlier, they attended BJP national president Amit Shah’s meeting in Ghatal, West Midnapore. Ghosh and Sarma then left for Kharagpur. Taking note of the situation, the BJP delegates in West Bengal have filed a complaint to the Election Commission mentioning the unlawful attempts carried by the TMC goons.

The ruling Trinamool Congress and BJP are locked in a fierce battle in the state as the latter is trying its best to grab at least 20-22 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats here. Violence over political enmity has become a regular feature in Bengal, which is seeing polling in all seven phases.
