New Delhi: Asserting defeat and victory are a part of the election course of and homicide or assaults on political rivals haven’t any place in a democracy, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Parvesh Verma on Tuesday condemned the post-poll violence in West Bengal and warned the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders stating they could face comparable violence within the nationwide capital.
Verma stated the “TMC goons started attacking our workers and leaders after winning the elections”, including they set homes and retailers of the BJP staff on fireplace in addition to vandalizing autos.
“The TMC must remember that its MPs, Chief Minister, MLAs also have to come to Delhi and they may be treated in the same way as they are attacking BJP workers in West Bengal. It is a warning to TMC leaders,” IANS quoted the BJP MP as saying.
Responding to a poser on what he means by warning, Verma stated the “TMC leaders who instigate the violence must understand they will have to venture out of the state and will have to visit the national capital”.
“If they don’t mend their ways, TMC leaders may also receive the same treatment in Delhi,” he added.
Verma, a second time period Lok Sabha member from the West Delhi parliamentary constituency, later shared on Twitter a video of an assault on the BJP staff and stated “this is what fascism looks like in real life”.
“I dare TMC to use the word “Fascism” ever again for anyone else other than @MamataOfficial. Because this is what Fascism looks like in real..,” he wrote.
