Days after the inauguration of the Howrah-New Jalpaiguri Vande Bharat Express in West Bengal’s Malda district, stones were pelted, following which the BJP demanded an NIA probe into the incident. Speaking on the incident, BJP General Secretary Tarun Chugh said, this incident is unfortunate. This is an example of Mamata didi’s jungle rule. Everyday violence, murders, rapes, extortion incidents are happening in Bengal. Political workers are targeted. They should be investigated and strict action should be taken against the culprits.
Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Legislative Assembly and BJP leader Shubhendu Adhikari tweeted, Unfortunate. India’s pride Vande Bharat Express was pelted with stones in Malda district of West Bengal. Is this revenge for the slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ on the day of inauguration? I request PMO India and Railway Minister India to hand over the investigation to NIA India and punish the culprits.
