The vehicles used for taking audience to Shah’s rally in East Midnapore on Tuesday were vandalised by some miscreants when they were parked outside the rally venue. BJP supporters also staged a demonstration, condemning the attack on the parked vehicles. Police said the miscreants lobbed stones on the vehicles and also torched some vehicles. Following the attacks, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra accused Mamata of unleashing “terror” in the state and called her “Talibani Didi”. “We have seen as to how Mamata Banerjee has unleashed the terror of TMC on the BJP and the ordinary people of West Bengal,” Patra told reporters in New Delhi.
