Today there was an assassination attempt on me. I was on my way to inaugurate a new school building in Sinji, Kalimpong when drunk TMC supporters attacked me with Khukuri, Knives and pelted heavy Stones.

@AmitShahOffice @HMOIndia @kishanreddybjp @BJP4Bengal @AmitShah @PMOIndia Sinji Primary School was to celebrate their Golden Jubilee and I was invited as the Chief Guest. This was a purely non-political program. But TMC Goons attacked my convoy to prevent me from reaching the venue.

Many volunteers who had come receive me, have been injured and even my PSO has been injured while protecting me. Needless to say West Bengal Police stood aside and didn’t take any action to prevent this attack on me.

I had informed WB Police DGP, WB Home Secretary, Kalimpong SP about the potential attack on me, and had requested them to increase security so that any untoward incident could be averted.

But like always, WB Police and Home Department didn’t do anything. The fact that this attack took place within 60kms radius of WB Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who is also visiting the hills, is telling of abysmal law and order situation in West Bengal. #GoBackMamta
Democracy for all intent and purpose in dead in West Bengal.

BUT I refused to be cowered, I refuse to give in to the bully tactics of TMC. I avow to get this glorious land of Dal Bahadur Giri, Ari Bahadur Gurung, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, Swamy Vivekananda,

#MeroDarjeeling
Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore rid of this undemocratic, dictatorial and murderous TMC party.

@AmitShahOffice @HMOIndia @kishanreddybjp @BJP4Bengal @AmitShah @PMOIndia First they attack, now they arrest our own cadres. This is the type of democracy practiced in West Bengal.

First they attacked me and school volunteers in Sinji, now they are arresting our cadres for protesting against the attack in Siliguri. While those who attacked are roaming free and probably under Police protection.
