Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President JP Nadda said on
Tuesday that violence erupting in West Bengal after assembly elections were reminiscent
of atrocities committed during India’s partition, while addressing party
workers in the state to fight the violence in a democratic manner, reported
PTI.

The BJP All India President, touring West Bengal in his
two-day visit, said that workers across India have expressed their solidarity
with the party members in the state, as the latter continue to face attacks.

“We are committed to democratically fight this
ideological battle and the activities of the TMC, which is full of intolerance. I had heard of the immense atrocities committed during the
Partition, but I have never seen such post-poll violence that is occurring in
West Bengal after the declaration of election results (on May 2),” Nadda
was quoted by PTI as saying.
