Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday condemned the scuffle during BJP president Amit Shah’s roadshow in Kolkata saying democracy has been crushed in Bengal. Clashes broke out between BJP supporters and student activists and those of the Left and Trinamool Congress Chatra
Parishad (TMCP) Tuesday after stones were pelted at Shah’s convoy as it passed through College Street and the arterial Bidhan Sarani on its way to Swami Vivekananda’s residence in north Kolkata. In a statement, Fadnavis said, “She has been denying permission to BJP leaders to hold rallies in the state as if Bengal was her personal property.
Many BJP workers have been murdered in the state and elections have been held under the terror of TMC workers.” “Maximum violence during elections has taken place in Bengal. The Election Commission should take note of these developments and ensure polls are held in free and fair manner,” he said.
