Kolkata (West Bengal): As reports of post-poll violence started coming from different corners of West Bengal hours after Trinamool Congress clinched a clear mandate in its favour last Sunday, various BJP leaders slammed Trinamool for the violence.
BJP president J P Nadda drew a parallel between the post-poll violence in West Bengal with the bloodshed during India's Partition, while his colleagues compared the TMC with Nazis, as the saffron party's leaders protested in different cities on Tuesday against attacks targeting its workers in the state.
The Prime Minister, also on early Tuesday morning called up Bengal governor, Jagdeep Dhankar and expressed anger and displeasure over the present law and order situation in the state.
