New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Arjun Singh on Tuesday lashed out at the Trinamool Congress (TMC) after bombs were thrown at the backside of his residence in Jagadal of West Bengal’s North 24 Paraganas district, less than a week after miscreants hurled bombs in front of his house.
Venting his ire, the BJP MP said the criminals have no fear because they have the protection of the TMC and West Bengal Police.

“The bombs were hurled in front of my house on September 8 and behind the house this morning. Criminals have no fear because they have the protection of TMC and @WBPolice. The criminals are roaming around openly, the police have become the ‘Daldas’ of the Trinamool. I was never afraid of such attacks and I will not be afraid,” he tweeted in Hindi tagging the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and office of the Home Minister of India.
The BJP leader alleging that members of the ruling TMC were trying to kill him.
“The Bengal government is challenging the NIA. An atmosphere of fear is being created. The NIA should investigate from where such explosives are being brought. I have filed an FIR,” he said.
TMC's North 24 Parganas president Partha Bhowmick, however, rubbished the allegations and said the BJP MP is somehow responsible for the blasts outside his house.
The police have begun its investigation into the matter.
