The BJP was preparing to fight yet another lawsuit against the ruling Trinamool Congress for what it said the ruling party’s dictatorial attitude towards the other political outfits in letting public places to be used for political meetings.
The BJP would move the court seeking annulment of the Kolkata Metropolitan Corporation orders to ban any meeting at the Victoria House Crossing save the one held by the Trinamool Congress every year on July 21 to observe its martyrs’ day. Senior BJP leader Tathagato Roy told the media that the party would go to the court and that the Trinamool would once again get a judicial rebuff to its undemocratic orders. “Earlier also they got rebuffs. They are acting in a dictatorial fashion but we will not let that happen and we will definitely move the court,” Roy said.
The BJP had earlier fought a lawsuit in the High Court and won it against the Government’s refusal to give permission to hold the November 30 rally to be addressed by party president Amit Shah at the Victoria House Crossing. In an unrelated development, a Bengal BJP delegation led by party MlA Shamik Bhattacharya on Tuesday met Governor KN Tripathi seeking his intervention in the continual attacks on the party workers and leaders. The Tuesday’s delegation came within a few days of alleged Trinamool men attacking Hooghly district party president Krishna Bhattacharya’s house at Konnagar, sources said.
