'TMC shames humanity, yet again', says Amit Shah as BJP worker found dead in Bengal

A BJP worker has been found dead in Murshidabad district of West Bengal. According to ANI, his body was recovered from a pond in a village in Shaktipur area of Murshidabad. He was missing from Sunday. 

This is the third instance of death of  a BJP worker in Bengal under mysterious circumstances in the past couple of months. 

Bengal BJP has claimed that TMC is behind the death of Dhormo Hazra. The party handle tweeted, "Dhormo Hazra, Dalit(Chest thumping liberals, please take a note) killed by TMC goons in Murshidabad, West Bengal. Yes, his hands were tied and thrown into pond to die with unbearable pain, Why? He was a BJP worker. In West Bengal reason enough to killed by ruling party terrorist."

Later, Amit Shah subtweeted Bengal BJP's tweet and said, " TMC shames humanity, yet again. Another BJP karyakarta killed in the most barbaric manner. In Mamata's regime, West Bengal has become an epitome of violence & brutality. Entire BJP stands firmly with Dhormo Hazra's family in this hour of grief. My deepest condolences. Om Shanti."

Last week, Amit Shah was in Bengal where he went to Purulia and met kin of two BJP workers who died after the panchayat election results where the party did well in the district.   Lashing out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for "unleashing violence" on her political rivals, BJP chief Amit Shah had said sacrifice of his party workers will not go waste and it will win 22 of the state's 42 Lok Sabha seats in 2019.

Addressing a rally in Purulia, he said that if people of Bengal "want to stop the illegal immigration from Bangladesh then they have to dethrone the Mamata-led TMC government." Shah attacked the state government for unleashing violence in the state and said that the people who are used to listening Rabindra sangeet are now hearing the noise of bombs. 

"Violence has never been the culture of Bengal. This is a state of great personalities such as Gurudev Rabindra Nath Tagore, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhya among others. And you all can see what Mamata has done to this state." Shah, who earlier in the day visited the families of the BJP workers who were allegedly killed in the political violence, said their sacrifice will not go waste. 

"More than 20 of our party workers were killed in the state in recent past. Their sacrifice will not go waste. I challenge Mamata Banerjee that we will dethrone you in coming days," he said.
