Amid an intense poll battle in West Bengal, actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty hit out at the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) government over its "poribortan (change)" slogan, stating that there has been "no change in the state and the slogan was just a lie".
It is the BJP's motto to ensure there is change in Bengal with no violence ever taking place, he said.
While campaigning for BJP candidate Biman Ghosh in Hooghly's Pursurah on Friday, Mithun Chakraborty told news agency ANI, "There was no "poribortan" earlier. It was a lie. There will be a change now, there will be no riots or violence. This is BJP's motto."
