"Murderous attack on our leaders is dangerous and unfortunate": Sudhanshu Trivedi slams TMC over alleged attack on BJP's Shankar Ghosh, Khagen Murmu

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], October 6 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and National Spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi on Monday lambasted Mamata Banerjee over the alleged attack on BJP leaders Khagen Murmu and Shankar Ghosh in West Bengal, asserting that the chief minister has "crossed all limits" and "dismantled law and order" ever since they came into power.
The BJP National Spokesperson also reacted to the flood and landslide situation in North Bengal, criticising the Chief Minister for not focusing on the real issues and instead attending a Tollywood music carnival in Kolkata.
Addressing the press conference, BJP National Spokesperson said, "Ever since TMC came to power in West Bengal, violence and dismantling of law and order have become normal. The insensitivity of the West Bengal Government and CM Mamata Banerjee has crossed limits. Most of North Bengal is reeling under floods. On the other hand, there are videos of the West Bengal CM dancing at a carnival in Kolkata. Both these images are heart-wrenching... The murderous attack on our leaders is dangerous and unfortunate."
Trivedi asserted that the dastardly incident that happened today, if it is said that this is the swan song of democracy, it should not be inappropriate."
"The dastardly incident which has happened in West Bengal today, if it is said that this is the swan song of democracy, it should not be inappropriate," Trivedi said.
