Union minister of state, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Debasree Chaudhuri today faced “go back” slogans when she visited cyclone-hit Gosaba of South 24 Parganas district on Friday.
Gosaba, 87 km from Kolkata, was hit by the “severe cyclonic storm” Bulbul on Saturday. When Chaudhuri reached Gosaba, some people shouted “go back” slogans on seeing her. The BJP has alleged that they were Trinamool Congress workers, and alleged that they had shown black flags and even hit one of their supporters. A temporary stage meant for BJP members was also allegedly broken by Trinamool Congress supporters.
The Trinamool Congress denied this. Police went to the area and brought the situation under control. Earlier this week, Union minister of state Babul Supriyo was faced “go back” slogans when he reached the cyclone-affected areas of Namkhana of South 24 Parganas.
