Kolkata: Among those who died in a fierce turf war between the Trinamul and The BJP in a Birbhum village were 17-year-old Tausif Sheikh, and two others said to be Trinamul supporters, Sheikh Suleman and Muzammil Haque. Villagers alleged that Trinamul supporters along with a large number of hired criminals had attacked Makra.
“We were Trinamul supporters but now we have joined the BJP. Trinamul leaders consider us enemies,” a resident said.
Rejecting the charges, Trinamul secretary general Partha Chatterjee said, “The communal, rioter BJP has unleashed terror in the state,” he said. Trinamul’s Birbhum district president Anubrata Mondal said, “These villagers were earlier CPM supporters. After the Lok Sabha polls, they joined the BJP and are attacking our party workers,” he said. BJP Birbhum district president Dudh Kumar Mondal alleged that two of the victims, Suleman and Muzammil were not locals.
