BJP workers tear down “Boycott BJP” posters in Kolkata, blame TMC supporters

The political atmosphere in Kolkata intensified ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit after “Boycott BJP” posters appeared in several parts of the city, triggering a fresh political controversy. BJP workers reportedly removed and tore down the posters at multiple locations, alleging that they were deliberately placed to create a negative narrative ahead of the Prime Minister’s rally. The development led to visible political tension in several areas of the city.

BJP leaders claimed that the posters were put up by supporters of the ruling Trinamool Congress and alleged that the move reflects the party’s fear and nervousness over Modi’s visit and the scale of the rally. According to them, the appearance of such posters indicates the ruling party’s concern over the growing support for the BJP among the public.

In response, BJP workers took to the streets and removed the posters, stating that such acts are attempts to disturb the political environment in the city. Party leaders further asserted that there is considerable enthusiasm among people regarding the Prime Minister’s rally and visit. As the issue gained attention, the controversy over the posters sparked a fresh political debate in the state, while no official reaction had been issued by the Trinamool Congress at the time.
