“Democracy murdered, again! Ganesh Roy, BJP worker from Goghat, Arambagh was found hanging, dead. These political killings must stop. Those who scream death of democracy at every instance are silent on the unabated killing of BJP workers under home minister Mamata Banerjee’ watch!” tweeted Bengal BJP’s Twitter handle on Sunday.
