Many police personnel have been deployed in the area after the incident and BJP has alleged that Trinamool Congress is behind the vandalisation.
The bus part of BJP’s ‘Rath Yatra’ was vandalised on Tuesday in West Bengal’s Purulia. The incident occurred shortly after Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee’s rally in Purulia district’s Manbazar area.
Many police personnel have been deployed in the area after the incident and BJP has alleged that Trinamool Congress is behind the vandalisation, but ruling Bengal party has denied the claims.
The incident allegedly took place when the ‘Poriborton’ Rath Yatra was returning to Purulia after completing rounds of all nine assembly constituencies of the district.
BJP leader Amit Malviya said the bus driver was injured in the incident.
“BJP’s rath for the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Samman Yatra, parked in Purulia, vandalised. Driver suffered injuries. BJP national president JP Nadda would be flagging off the yatra anytime now from Kotulpur. TMC won’t be able to do much to stop it!,” he said.
Reports said BJP workers and supporters, led by the party’s Manbazar candidate Gouri Singh Sardar, have begun blocking roads in the city, demanding that those responsible for the incident be arrested immediately.
