The bus part of BJP’s ‘Rath Yatra’ was vandalised on Tuesday in West Bengal’s Purulia. The incident occurred shortly after Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee’s rally in Purulia district’s Manbazar area.
Many police personnel have been deployed in the area after the incident and BJP has alleged that Trinamool Congress is behind the vandalisation, but ruling Bengal party has denied the claims.
The incident allegedly took place when the ‘Poriborton’ Rath Yatra was returning to Purulia after completing rounds of all nine assembly constituencies of the district.
