Amidst expectations and apprehensions around the Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s (BJP) programme of marching towards Nabanna \u2013 the West Bengal secretariat \u2013 on Thursday, the party\u2019s general secretary Sayantan Basu said that \u201cwe won\u2019t treat the police to sweets if they attack us.\u201d Basu, known for his controversial comments, somewhat summed up what the programme is likely to be.<\/p>\n
The Bengal BJP has planned the Nabanna abhijan <\/em>programme on Thursday to protest \u201cthe state\u2019s deteriorating law and order situation\u201d. With a seven-point agenda of the party against Mamata Banerjee’s government, MP from Bangalore South constituency and president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha Tejasvi Surya will lead one of the marches towards Nabanna. All senior leaders of the Bengal BJP, including the state chief Dilip Ghosh will be part of the protest march.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do not want to break the tenets of democracy, but it is not a one-sided matter. Our reactions would depend on the police action. If they shoot at us, obviously we won\u2019t show kindness by treating them to sweets,\u201d Basu said, when asked what kind of protest march the BJP would organise on Thursday. \u201cThere will be thousands of our supporters, and not all of them are likely to be Gandhian,\u201d Basu added. A section of the state administration feels that can qualify as a statement of instigation.<\/p>\n The BJP will organise four main marches that are planned to head towards Nabanna from four different directions \u2013 from the BJP\u2019s state headquarters off Central Avenue, Hastings office, Howrah Maidan and Santragachhi.<\/p>\n BJP state chief Dilip Ghosh will lead the march from the party\u2019s main office off Central Avenue. The Hastings march will be led by senior party leaders Kailash Vijayvargiya and Mukul Roy, the Howrah Maidan march will be led by Tejasvi Surya and state head of the party\u2019s youth wing Soumitra Khan. The Santragachhi march will be led by Sayantan Basu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All top leaders of BJP in Bengal to be present, huge police deployment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":279,"featured_media":10576,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6],"tags":[387,57,156,266,49,216,398,473,472,46,301,403],"tmauthors":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-10572","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-bengal","8":"category-politics","9":"tag-assembly-elections-2021","10":"tag-bjp","11":"tag-dilip-ghosh","12":"tag-kailash-vijayvargiya","13":"tag-mamata-banerjee","14":"tag-mukul-roy","15":"tag-political-clash-in-west-bengal","16":"tag-sayantan-basu","17":"tag-tejasvi-surya","18":"tag-trinamool-congress","19":"tag-west-bengal-government","20":"tag-west-bengal-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/279"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10572"},{"taxonomy":"tmauthors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tmauthors?post=10572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
