New Delhi: Union Minister Babul Supriyo tweeted a video today, saying that supporters of the Trinamool Congress are trying to break into the home of his parents in Kolkata, in the latest escalation of tensions over the arrest of two Trinamool leaders in corruption cases.
"The sad part is that I am a minister, it is getting covered everywhere but what about the poor BJP workers and supporters on the ground. They are being beaten up, BJP flags are being burnt, an elderly woman had a bomb thrown at her house, she is critically injured - this is happening all over Bengal," he said.
Yesterday, the house of a Bengal BJP leader was bombed allegedly by the ruling Trinamool Congress workers and the BJP's Kolkata office was attacked after the arrest of a senior leader of the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's party for his alleged involvement in the chit fund scam that bankrupted lakhs of small investors in Bengal.
Last week, actor Tapas Paul, also a lawmaker from the Trinamool Congress, was arrested for alleged involvement in the Rose Valley chit fund case.
