Actor Parambrata Chattopadhyay has said that \u201cvandalising opposition party offices\u201d after an electoral victory should stop. He said this hours after the ruling Trinamool Congress in Bengal swept the Kolkata civic polls, and added that such violent acts \u201conly blemishes the mandate\u201d .<\/p>\n
Chattopadhyay wrote this on a Twitter post where he also mentioned that he was making such a statement \u201cas a sympathiser of the current dispensation in Bengal\u201d. His Twitter post read: \u201cVandalising opposition party offices, after a resounding electoral victory, needs to stop, now! Even if it’s just one instance! And I’m saying this as a sympathiser of the current dispensation in Bengal. I urge leaders to stop cadres from such acts. It only blemishes the mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chattopadhyay was most recently seen in the Netflix series Aranyak<\/em>. In his social media post, the actor urged Trinamool workers to be \u201ccivil in victory\u201d. The remarks come amid allegations of attacks on Opposition parties\u2019 offices and the BJP\u2019s demand to cancel the polls which they claimed were marred by violence.<\/p>\n Chattopadhyay added that similar actions by earlier regimes can\u2019t justify current actions. \u201cWho started it, how many atrocities the previous regime committed, these can’t be excuses. It was horribly wrong then, it’s equally wrong now. Please, let’s be civil in victory, dignified in triumph!\u201d, he said in another tweet.<\/p>\n The ruling party in West Bengal \u2013 Trinamool Congress \u2013 has won 134 of the 144 wards in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. The BJP won three wards and the CPI(M)-led Left Front and the Congress won two each. Independent candidates won three wards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Actor Parambrata Chattopadhyay has said that \u201cvandalising opposition party offices\u201d after an electoral victory should stop.
