Trinamool goons vandalised Vidyasagar's bust to win lost battle: Amit Shah

Kolkata, May 15 (IBNS): Accusing West Bengal's ruling party of hatching a conspiracy against the saffron outfit, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Amit Shah on Wednesday said the Trinamool Congress goons have actually vandalised the bust of Bengali's iconic social reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar to win the "lost" Lok Sabha polls.

Shah at a press conference said: "We were outside the Vidyasagar college and the gate of the college was intact. Then who vandalised the bust? It was a conspiracy by Trinamool and vandalised the bust. Who broke the locks of the college? How could BJP workers get the keys of the college room. All these prove that Trinamool goons vandalised the bust to win the lost battle."

The bust was kept in a glass showcase in the premises of Vidyasagar College. Prior to the vandalisation, a scuffle between the BJP and Trinamool supporters broke out outside Calcutta University in north Kolkata through which Shah's roadshow was passing.

Shah also said no other state, where BJP is fighting several opposition parties, is witnessing such violence.

"No violence in other states but only Bengal which means Trinamool is the reason behind it. If BJP was the reason then violence would have taken place in all other states," said he.
