West Midnapore: In another gruesome attack on BJP, a worker of the party was found hanging from a tree on Friday in Dantan area of West Bengal’s West Midnapore district. It has fuelled suspicions that he was killed over political rivalry.
The victim has been identified as Barsha Hansda (44). A case of “unnatural death” has been filed and the body sent for autopsy, police said.
“Barsha Hansda, a tribal BJP worker from Paschim Medinipur, was hanged to death by TMC goons. Why are the liberals so silent now on these brutal political murders in TMC ruled West Bengal? Would they be so silent if this was a BJP ruled state?” tweeted BJP Bengal.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has accused Trinamool Congress (TMC) over the brutality of killing BJP workers.
BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya said, “The TMC is trying to terrorize BJP workers by establishing a reign of terror in the state. An active and popular BJP activist was brutally murdered by TMC goons. He was the only earning member of his family.”
BJP leader and MP from Barrackpore Lok Sabha seat Arjun Singh accused the Trinamool Congress of running an Islamic State-like regime in West Bengal.
“What is the difference left between TMC and ISIS? Is this how 2021 elections will be fought? By murdering innocent souls for not aligning with @MamataOfficial’s agenda?#savebengal #tmcjungleraj,” Singh tweeted on Twitter.

Last year three BJP workers, Jagannath Tudu, Trilochan Mahato, Dulal Kumar, were similarly found hanging in separate incidents that created a huge political furor in Bengal.
