They entered the party office of the CPI-M and they vandalised it like goons by destroying furniture and other office properties,” said Mr Salim. He claimed the TMC-led panchayat demanding Rs 1000 from each beneficiary from Bhgabanpur to Islampur. “Current Leader of Opposition in Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari and chief minister both opened this money collection company to collect cut money and bribe from rural people for providing benefit of PMAY-G scheme.

Even our district secretary Niranjan Sihi was beaten up last night and dragged from the party office as he protested against it, ” said Mr Salim. Mr Salim said BJP and RSS jointly shouted “Jai Shri Ram” at the Railway programme which was an unpardonable offence durning any government programme despite chief minister Mamata Banerjee being present there and PM was virtually giving speech. “However this is an old unpopular script as TMC shouted slogans to counter BJP RSS cadres’s slogans in Union government programmes to draw the wool before people’s eyes because they are opposite sides of the same coin,” he said.
