"In Bengal, about 130 BJP officials and 300 party supporters lost their lives. This is rampant. I performed the last rites of 100 workers at Bagbazar Ghat on September 28, 2019. You have seen those visuals, the whole country saw that. In the span of one month, 6-7 workers lost their lives. TMC workers have done this due to political malice," he said.
