Not just the chief minister and top officials, all employees have been given leave for two days.<\/p>\n<p>For the BJP, this has been sudden and unexpected, even non-violent attack \u2013 not what they were gearing up to handle \u2013 and therefore, a bit embarrassing, but no change of programme was announced. \u201cWe are going ahead with the programme, the state government has announced a closure of the Nabanna out of fear,\u201d said a BJP official.<\/p>\n<p>The Bengal BJP has planned the Nabanna <em>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&#8217;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<p>Four main marches 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. 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 the party\u2019s general secretary Sayantan Basu.<\/p>\n<p>Two days back, Basu had said that \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 He had also said: \u201cThere will be thousands of our supporters, and not all of them are likely to be Gandhian\u201d. A section of the state administration feels that can qualify as a statement of instigation.<\/p>\n<p>However, now with Nabanna closed during the BJP\u2019s march, there is lack of the earlier enthusiasm among the party\u2019s supporters today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lack of the earlier enthusiasm, but BJP to go ahead with the march.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":279,"featured_media":9725,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[57,156,49,216,445,398,473,472,46,301,403],"tmauthors":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-10584","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-bengal","8":"tag-bjp","9":"tag-dilip-ghosh","10":"tag-mamata-banerjee","11":"tag-mukul-roy","12":"tag-opposition-political-parties","13":"tag-political-clash-in-west-bengal","14":"tag-sayantan-basu","15":"tag-tejasvi-surya","16":"tag-trinamool-congress","17":"tag-west-bengal-government","18":"tag-west-bengal-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10584","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=10584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10584"},{"taxonomy":"tmauthors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tmauthors?post=10584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
