Kolkata: Some unknown miscreants attacked Minister of State for External Affairs & Parliamentary Affairs V Muraleedharan's convoy in West Bengal's Medinapur on Thursday.
A video of the incident was shared by the minister on his social media account.
"TMC goons attacked my convoy in West Midnapore, broken windows, attacked personal staff. Cutting short my trip. #BengalBurning @BJP4Bengal @BJP4India @narendramodi @JPNadda @AmitShah @DilipGhoshBJP @RahulSinhaBJP (sic)," tweeted Muraleedharan.
Violence has been reported in several parts of West Bengal after the results of the assembly elections were declared on May 2. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alleged that nine of its party workers have been killed in the post-poll violence.
However, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is denying the allegations.
Earlier today, a four-member team, deputed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, arrived in Kolkata on Thursday to assess the ground situation amid the post-poll violence in West Bengal.
