Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that West Bengal is the only state where political violence prevails despite democracy consolidating in the entire country.
Addressing a virtual West Bengal Jan Samvad rally, he said that Bengal remains the only state where political violence is propagated despite democracy strengthening its roots in the country.
Shah reiterated how BJP lost 100 of its workers due to political violence in WB. He also paid tribute to the victims of political violence in the state along with that who lost their lives due to COVID-19 and cyclone Amphan. "My condolences to the families of those workers of BJP, who sacrificed their lives for realising the dream of -Sonar Bangla-. I also pay tribute to those who lost their lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in cyclone Amphan," he said.
The senior BJP leader said that while democracy is flourishing in the entire country, Bengal remains an exception due to ongoing political violence.
