The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday claimed that its party supporter was killed and two others seriously injured on Monday due to police lathicharge. The party also claimed that 40 others have suffered minor injuries. The state BJP has called for a 12-hour bandh in north Bengal.
One senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker succumbed to injuries after Bengal police used water cannons and tear gas shells on protesters who were part of a BJP rally in West Bengal’s Siliguri, the party said. According to the reports, the BJP workers clashed with the police in north Bengal, as they were stopped from moving past barricades at two points near branch secretariat ‘Uttarkanya’ during their rally in protest against TMC dispensation’s “misrule”.
Tejasvi Surya, BJP’s Yuva Morcha National President, took to Twitter and launched a scathing attack against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. “Ulen Roy, a senior BJP worker, has succumbed to splinter injuries caused by the country bombs that Mamata’s police threw,” Tejasvi Surya said.
I am informed by our local karyakartas that Sri Ulen Roy, a senior BJP karyakarta, has succumbed to splinter injuries caused by the country bombs that Mamata’s police threw.

The activists, as part of the ‘Uttarkanya Abhijan’ called by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), took out two protest marches, alleging that the state government has not fulfilled the promises made to the people of north Bengal, and benefits of the welfare schemes launched by the ruling dispensation have failed to reach the common man.
