The BJP's West Bengal unit has sought permission from the Kolkata Police to conduct a dharna later this month at the same spot in the city where West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had organised a sit-in demonstration in early February.
The party has already sent a letter to the city police seeking permission for the dharna at the Metro Channel in the heart of the city between 21 and 23 February, BJP state general secretary Sayantan Basu told PTI on Monday, 11 February.
