Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly and BJP MLA from Nandigram Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his official residence here and apprised him of the alleged post-Assembly-election violence against BJP workers in the State.
His meeting also comes against the backdrop of many former TMC leaders and workers, who had switched over to the BJP before the polls, now planning to do a ‘ghar wapsi’ to their old party,
The BJP MLA informed Modi about the current political situation in the state and the post-poll atmosphere of ‘fear’ in the state, apprehensions of the BJP workers and their ‘migration’ to Assam.
“I met PM Modi, JP Nadda and briefed them on the current situation in West Bengal. More than 40 BJP workers were murdered in the state. This violence in the State should end,” he said.
Adhikari, who defeated State Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from the prestigious Nandigram constituency, had a day before also met union home minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda and several other Union Ministers and BJP leaders from Bengal.
He has been visiting the Capital for the first time after the West Bengal assembly elections and subsequent violence allegedly against the BJP supporters.
The West Bengal government on May 25 informed the Supreme Court about the arrest of three people in connection with the alleged killing of two BJP workers on May 2 in the state.
