The state BJP on Monday launched its country wide campaign against the TMC’s state sponsored terror in Bengal against Opposition parties mainly BJP. The saffron party on Monday organised demonstrations and rallies in different parts of the state demanding justice for the deaths of two young Dalit leaders. The BJP on Monday also organised a rally in front of Banga Bhavan in Delhi to protest against the deaths of two young activists.

BJP MP Roopa Ganguly said that many BJP workers have been killed in the state and chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s government is sitting idle to take any action against the killing. “West Bengal has no democracy. TMC is in a desperate bid to oust the Opposition from the state. Police officers are helping TMC miscreants to unleash violence in the state and those officers are being promoted to senior posts with good pay package,” she said.

Ganguly said that she was attacked by a gang of miscreants backed by the TMC in front of the police while she went to Kakdwip to organise a rally for campaigning against TMC’s misrule.

“Despite this, BJP workers are not afraid of anyone. We are fighting and playing the role of a vigilant Opposition. All other political parties are also supporting us for campaigning against the TMC’s attack on democracy,” said Ganguly.

On 30 May, the body of 18- year-old Trilochan Mahato was found hanging from a tree near his home at Balarampur in Purulia district, about 300 km from Kolkata. An unsigned handwritten note in Bengali, which was slung around his neck, read that he was “punished for working for the BJP” during the recent panchayat elections in the state. “Since you were involved with the BJP even at the age of 18, it claimed your life. I have been searching for you since the panchayat elections and now you are dead,” the note read.

Three days after Mahato’s death, 35-year-old Dulal Kumar was found hanging from a power transmission tower in the same district. The BJP claimed that like Mahato, Kumar was also its worker.

BJP workers also protested in north Bengal and Hooghly on Monday. “Only CBI could probe the real truth behind the murder of the two young Dalit youths. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s government is pampering the conspirators and killers, who are ousting the Oppositon,” said Ganguly.

Senior BJP leaders including BJP state president Dilip Ghosh and Mukul Roy joined the protest rallies.
