West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh on Monday alleged that the law and order situation in the state is worsening and gradually it is becoming a Mafia-ruled state like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh on Monday alleged that the law and order situation in the state is worsening and gradually it is becoming a Mafia-ruled state like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. In reply, the Trinamool Congress said it is good that he accepted that Mafia-raj existed in those two states where the BJP is in power.
Shukla, a councillor of Titagarh Municipality, was shot dead on Sunday by two bike-borne assailants. “The law and order situation of Bengal is worsening with each passing day. The police are hand in glove in the conspiracy to kill a mass leader like Shukla,” Ghosh claimed.
Ghosh wondered whether free and fair polls would be possible in the state if such an anarchic situation continues. Assembly election in the state is due next year. “More than 120 BJP workers have been killed in the state in the last few years,” he said. The TMC leadership mocked Ghosh for his comments.
