Poster War In Bengal's Bhabanipur As Trinamool, BJP Blame Each Other
(MENAFN- IANS) Kolkata, March 21 (IANS) Tension was high on Saturday in Bhabanipur — West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s constituency — over allegations that posters belonging to the Trinamool Congress were torn down. The ruling party claimed that the BJP was behind the incident.
However, the BJP asserted that the episode resulted from internal factionalism within the Trinamool Congress. Both the Trinamool Congress and the BJP have filed separate complaints at Kalighat Police Station regarding the incident.
According to police, Trinamool Congress posters had been put up across various areas of Bhabanipur in preparation for the Assembly elections.
However, on Saturday afternoon, allegations were made against the BJP for tearing down these posters near Chakraberia Road.
Following this, local Trinamool workers — led by Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) Councillor Asim Basu — staged a protest in front of Bhabanipur Police Station. They also filed a written complaint specifically naming several BJP workers.
Asim Basu said: “We put up these banners and posters after obtaining all necessary permissions. Later, we found out that someone — or a group of people — had torn them down. We immediately informed the police. The police arrived at the scene even before we did. When we finally reached the spot, we saw that not only had the ‘Boycott BJP’ posters been torn down, but they had also destroyed the hoardings and banners we put up to support the Chief Minister’s victory.”
Earlier in the day, a similar allegation was made by the BJP, claiming that Trinamool supporters had torn down banners and posters featuring Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari. The Trinamool Congress has now lodged a counter-complaint.
Bhabanipur is a key constituency in the upcoming Assembly elections. The BJP has fielded Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari from Bhabanipur, in addition to Nandigram. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is also scheduled to start her campaign from Bhabanipur on Monday. It remains to be seen how the political contest will unfold in the constituency.
