Kolkata, Oct 22 (PTI) The CPI(M) and Congress on Thursday alleged their offices were vandalised by BJP supporters on the eastern outskirts of Kolkata, even as the ruling party’s local MLA claimed he was unaware of such incidents.
Leaders of the Congress’ Rajarhat unit in North 24 Parganas alleged that their party office in Bishnupur I panchayat area was vandalised by BJP supporters. CPI(M) leaders also claimed their party office in Bishnupur II panchayat area was ransacked by “radical sanatanis”.
Leaders of both parties claimed they were facing intimidation after the BJP came to power in West Bengal.
However, Rajarhat-Newtown MLA Piyush Kanodia denied the allegation, maintaining that he is unaware of any such incident.
Claiming that no such act of vandalism occurred, he said, “Marxism has vanished from West Bengal. The ideology of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Swami Vivekananda will thrive in the state.”
Kanoria also said that he was unaware of any police complaints over the alleged incidents. PTI AMR NSD
