Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday, 10 December, condemned the alleged attack on the convoy of BJP President JP Nadda in West Bengal.
"However much we condemn this incident, it is less. The central government is taking this attack very seriously. The Bengal government will have to answer to the peace-loving people of the state for this sponsored violence," Shah said in a tweet.
"Bengal has gone into an era of tyranny, anarchy and darkness under Trinamool rule," he said in another tweet in Hindi, attacking the Mamata Banerjee-led government ahead of elections in the state in 2021.
Nadda's convoy, which included vehicles of other leaders, was allegedly attacked with stones and bricks, while on the way to Diamond Harbour in South 24 Parganas district on 10 December.
