BJP Blames TMC For Setting Party Office On Fire; TMC Rejects Claim

The BJP has blamed West Bengal’s TMC government for putting its Barrackpore office in the North 24 Parganas district on fire. A local BJP leader from Barrackpore, Tapan Biswas, said the TMC workers carried out the act since disgruntled TMC MLA Shilbhadra Dutta has joined the BJP. The office was put on fire by miscreants on the day the rebel MLA joined the BJP in Amit Shah’s presence. However, the TMC has repudiated the allegations.
