West Bengal Elections 2021: BJP worker found hanging in Coochbehar, party accuses TMC

Coochbehar: A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Mandal President was found dead near party office in Dinhata, earlier today.

“It’s a pre-planned murder. They (TMC) want us (BJP workers) to just sit at home out of fear but we will continue our fight,” said a BJP worker.

Meanwhile, Amit Malviya has claimed in his tweet that BJP has lost 130 workers of their Bengal cadre due to these ‘political killings’ in the state.

Amit Sarkar, mondal president of Dinhata Town, was hanged to death by TMC goons, just 72 hours before the first phase.

Is this what TMC meant by Khela Hobe?
