BJP president Amit Shah blames TMC for violence; shows 3 photos as proof
BJP president Amit Shah blames Trinamool Congress for violence in his roadshow in Kolkata. Amit Shah presents three photographs to prove his point. “We will not be intimidated by violence… Anger of Bengalis will translate into defeat for Mamata didi who is stifling democracy in the state,” the BJP chief said. “I just came to know that the Bengal government has filed an FIR against me, Let me tell them I am not scared of FIRs… so many of my workers have been killed in violent attack,” Amit Shah shows the photographs as a proof that TMC workers broke the statue of Vidyasagar, Shah said, “the college gates were closed, room was locked … who opened the lock, BJP workers did not enter the college.” Recounting the violence during his roadshow on Tuesday, Amit Shah said: “I was lucky to escape, had the CRPF not been there, it would have been difficult for me to escape.” The BJP chief said signs of TMC unease were visible before the roadshow. “Modi’s posters, my posters were torn in the morning… yet BJP workers were calm”. Shah said that the roadshow started and support of people was overwhelming. “There were so many people and it was a peaceful rally,” he added. TMC and BJP are accusing each other for the clash.
