East Midnapore: BJP worker Purnachandra Das was allegedly found hanging under mysterious circumstances near his house in West Bengal on Wednesday. Das was the booth president of Ramnagar in East Midnapore district.
According to his family members, he was being pressurized by TMC goons to join their party.
The state district leadership of BJP claimed that TMC goons murdered him and hanged his body from a tree.
BJP National Secretary Rahul Sinha on Thursday accused the Trinamool Congress of murdering him.
Sinha said, “Once again the Trinamool Congress killed a BJP worker and hung him. Yesterday, the Trinamool Congress workers killed Purnachandra Das, booth president of Ramnagar in East Midnapore district and hung him from a tree. The Trinamool Congress is repeatedly killing BJP workers and trying to stage it as a suicide. So, we strongly condemn this. I demand strict punishment for the culprits. That’s why I want to request the CM that Das’ murderers should be arrested and they should be severely punished.”

This comes days after Debendra Nath Roy, who won from the Hemtabad constituency on a CPI(M) ticket in 2016, joined BJP in 2019, was found hanging in front of a tea shop in Uttar Dinajpur district, close to 1 km from his home.
