Mr Ghosh said that people of the Amdanga were terrorised to leave their homes following the instruction of chief minister.
“Chief minister Mamata Banerjee instructed to form Opposition-free panchayat board as a consequence of which TMC-backed goons are indiscriminately attacking Opposition activists, leaders even MLAs,” he alleged.
Mr Ghosh on Tuesday visited Maricha panchayat in Amdanga to join a party meeting. He also criticised state food and supply minister Jyotipriya Mallick, who alleged that Opposition gathered arms and ammunition in Amadanga and brought those arms from Bangladesh. “If such allegation was true then what was police doinging and why they did not recover any arms from here,” he asked.

Two of those killed are supporters of Trinamul Congress, while the other person was an activist of CPI(M).
