BJP has nothing to do with this incident: Samik Bhattacharya

On this matter, State BJP President Samik Bhattacharya said, ‘BJP has no hand in these matters. Moreover, such behavior is not acceptable in a healthy society. People don’t always tolerate arrogance – and this election is proof of that. Although people may have complaints, such actions are not good for a civilized society. BJP has nothing to do with this incident. We have maintained and will maintain restraint. It is precisely because of this that Trinamool Congress continues to exist even today. If the situation had been reversed, if Trinamool had been in our place, the opposition would not have been left in a position to even give a statement.
