BJP MLA alleges attack by TMC workers while distributing relief material in flood-hit Bengal

Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Manoj Kumar Oraon on Tuesday claimed that he was attacked by Trinamool Congress workers while distributing flood relief material in West Bengal’s Alipurduar district, PTI reported.

This came a day after the Hindutva party alleged that its Maldah Uttar MP Khagen Murmu and Siliguri MLA Shankar Ghosh were chased and assaulted in Jalpaiguri while reviewing the flood damage in the region.

Several parts of North Bengal, including Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar and Darjeeling, have been flooded and seen landslides triggered by heavy rainfall over the past few days. At least 20 persons have been killed in rain-related incidents in Darjeeling and Kalimpong.

On Tuesday, Oraon claimed that workers from the ruling Trinamool Congress in the state attacked him and his supporters while they were distributing relief material among locals affected by the floods in Kumargram, the constituency he represents in the state Assembly.

“While trying to help flood-hit people, I was suddenly surrounded and attacked,” PTI quoted Oraon, who sustained injuries in the alleged attack, as saying.
