BJP denies Kolkata police
However, BJP denies that its workers lit the fire, “Police may done it themselves,” said Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, “Our workers were not carrying any weapons. Maybe Trinamool Congress’s jihadis came and carried out the violence.” Moreover, they alleged that the violence started only after the police provocation.
The clashes started when the police set up barricades for the march , which was named ‘Nabanna Abhijan’- a march to the state secretariat. Protesters threw stones, hence, the police had to use water canons to disperse the crowds. The police detained many BJP leaders.
