BJP Chief JP Nadda condemned the attack on the convoy of Union Minister. Reacting to the continuous deteriorating Law and Order of West Bengal Nadda said, “Law and order in west Bengal has paralysed, if a Union Minister can be attacked, situation of a common man is understandable”.

Mr. Nadda further claimed that 14 BJP karyakartas have been killed in post poll violence and nearly 80,000 to 1 Lakh people of Bengal have fled there homes to save themselves from TMC goons. While giving brief to media, he also said that CM Mamata Banerjee has blood on her hands.

Even a Union Minister is also not safe in West Bengal what will happen to ordinary citizens who did not vote for TMC. This is totally undemocratic and deplorable.”
