Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday, 5 February, was denied permission to hold a rally in West Bengal again – this time in Purulia.
The Superintendent of Police of Purulia district told News18 that the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister cannot go ahead with the rally in the state.
This comes amid the full-blown tussle between the BJP-led Centre and Mamata Banerjee’s state government over a mix of issues, including the CBI versus Kolkata Police crisis.
The BJP leader has plans of landing in Jharkhand’s Bokaro, following which he will reach Purulia by road, reported ANI. The Bengal government has over the past few weeks denied permission to land helicopters to the BJP leaders.
The rally also comes just days after he addressed a public meeting in the state’s South Dinajpur district via audio link, after the state government denied permission to land his helicopter in the area.
