WATCH: TMC workers attack BJP MP Babul Supriyo's house in Kolkata

New Delhi: A day after Trinamool Congress MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay was arrested, TMC workers allegedly attacked BJP MP Babul Supriyo’s residence in Kolkata on Wednesday. Babul Supriyo took to Twitter to claim that TMC “goons” had attacked his house and tried to break into his apartment where his parents were residing. They initially staged demonstration in front of the union minister's house here demanding his arrest. BJP, whose office was attacked yesterday by the people carrying TMC flags, meanwhile, urged state governor K N Tripathi to send a report to the Centre demanding imposition of Presidents Rule in view of "growing lawlessness" in the state. TMC activists staged protest in front of the housing society where Supriyos house is located, demanded his arrest and resorted to rail blockade at some places. Supriyo said the TMC activists burnt BJP flag in front of the society and questioned the role of the police. "My parents and other residents are scared. Let Didi (Mamata Banerjee) give proof of my involvement in the Rose Valley scam, I will be arrested", he said. TMC also took out processions at various places and organised rail blockade at Kankurgachi here and staged protest in front of the CBI office here. A TMC delegation led by party secretary general Partha Chatterjee also met the governor and complained of "political vendetta" by the Centre against TMC which is opposing demonetisation. He also demanded that CBI arrest Supriyo in connection with Rose Valley chit fund scam. "They (BJP)cannot stop TMC by conspiring and arresting our leaders", he said. On BJPs demand of imposition of Presidents rule, he said, "They can demand anything". State BJP president Dilip Ghosh led a party delegation to Raj Bhavan and apprised the Governor of the attack on their party office yesterday by TMC men. "It was unthinkable. We did not expect this. Our party office was attacked at different places including Hooghly and Durgapur. Babul Supriyos house was attacked. We are concerned. It should stop", he said. The state BJP chief also accused chief minister Mamata Banerjee of provoking her party workers to attack BJP offices and leaders.
