BJP takes out Tiranga Yatra in Bengal against violence at NEET paper leak protests
The BJP organized 'Tiranga Yatra' marches in West Bengal to protest violence associated with NEET paper leak demonstrations. Party leaders framed the protests as anti-national and vowed to take action against those damaging public property.
Why it matters
The event underscores the intense political polarization in West Bengal and the use of nationalist symbolism in local political discourse.
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday (July 27) organised two Tiranga Yatras in West Bengal against the violence at NEET paper leak protests and called for action against “troublemakers”.
The protestors were seen holding the Indian National Flag and raising slogans of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”. Several BJP MLAs and Ministers were also seen on the roads leading these marches, including Tapas Ray, Vijay Ojha, Santosh Pathak, Priyanka Tibrewal, and others.
“We respect the concerns of our students, but if anti-national elements try to push their agenda and attempt to destabilise the country by misleading our students, we will not allow that to happen...Action will be taken against those who damage government property and attack the media; they will not be spared,” senior BJP leader and minister Agnimitra Paul said.
