As a result, 2 BJP party workers got injured," Roy said.Dismissing the allegations by the BJP leader, TMC MP Santanu Sen told ANI that the BJP is doing so just to stay in the limelight."It's an excuse... there are no people in their rallies so they are alleging all this to stay in the limelight. TMC does not have the need to attack the BJP rally, as they're a self-destructive party. TMC doesn't have anything to do with it. We don't instigate, they do," Sen said.Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News,India News and Entertainment News here. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
