PANAJI
TMC's lower rung political workers have a 'khooni' (bloody) mentality and there should be a check on the massive influx of party workers from West Bengal coming to Goa because the political culture in both states is like chalk and cheese, state BJP president Sadanand Shet Tanavade said on Friday.
Addressing a press conference in Panaji, Tanavade also said that Goa, unlike West Bengal, is not prone to post-poll violence.
"They have a khooni mentality. People are joining them against their own wishes for fear of their lives. Their politics is vulgar. There should be a control over the volume (of TMC workers) coming into Goa," Tanavade told reporters at the press conference.
The accusation by Tanavade comes in wake of a video circulated by the official social media handle of BJP, which claimed that hundreds of political workers from West Bengal were arriving in Goa to participate in the election campaigning ahead of the 2022 state assembly polls. TMC has claimed that the video was fake and has slammed the ruling BJP for indulging in provocative politics.
