A day after violent clashes broke out in West Bengal’s East Midnapore where BJP president Amit Shah was holding a rally, party national secretary Rahul Sinha on Wednesday, 30 January, asked his workers to carry lathis (sticks) to all rallies for “self defence,” reported India Today.

“When someone attacks we cannot retaliate with empty hands.”

A TMC party office was ransacked and vehicles ferrying BJP workers were set on fire on Tuesday, the parties claimed.

Sources in the two parties said three people were injured in the clashes. No confirmation was available from the police in this regard.

Rahul Sinha claimed that TMC activists had attacked BJP workers as the party was afraid after witnessing the massive rally in Kanthi.

“It is unfortunate that everything happened in front of police. They were just mute spectators.”

Shah, addressing the rally, launched a scathing attack on the TMC government and vowed to uproot it.

He alleged that TMC supremo and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's paintings were bought by chit fund owners for crores of rupees.
