BJP Changes Route After Bengal Cops Stop Rath from Entering Sensitive Areas in Murshidabad

News 18  

The BJP on Monday had to take an alternative route for its 'Parivartan Yatra' in West Bengal's Murshidabad after the police stopped its rath from venturing into some of the district's "sensitive pockets", a senior police officer said. District BJP leader Gourishankar Ghosh, however, claimed that the party had intimated the administration about the route being taken for the yatra well in advance, and no objection was raised back then. The 'Parivartan Yatra' on a rath was flagged off by BJP national president J P Nadda from Nabadwip in Nadia district on February 6, as part of the saffron party's outreach programme ahead of the assembly polls. Echoing him, state BJP leader Kalyan Choubey said, "We held discussions with the police before charting the yatra route.
