Kolkata: Congress senior leader, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Friday condemned the attack on BJP President JP Nadda's convoy in Kolkata.
In a press conference at Beharampur's Congress District office, Adhir Ranjan said, “Attack on JP Nadda is a glimpse of dictatorship in West Bengal. We condemn it. But it is going on in Uttar Pradesh and other parts of India as well.”
On the matter of President’s rule in West Bengal, the Congress leader said it was up to the government to decide.
'Attack on JP Nadda is glimpse of dictatorship in Bengal' “I think that declaring President’s rule in West Bengal is a matter which is to be decided by Government of India,” he said.
"What TMC did is totally shameful. You might have political differences but that does not mean you can do such things. Mamta Banerjee says, BJP has planned the drama. Whereas her nephew Abhishek Banerjee says this is the manifestation of human resentment. Actually, TMC and BJP are trying to divide voters," he added.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party over its slamming the Trinamool Congress government over "attack" on BJP president JP Nadda's convoy and said it was resorting to "nautanki".
Notably, several vehicles in the BJP chief’s convoy were damaged as Nadda was travelling to Diamond Harbour to address a public meeting and some of the party’s leaders and workers were injured by stone-throwing protesters carrying the ruling Trinamool Congress’ (TMC’s) flags at Sirakol.
