West Bengal BJP Mahila Morcha President Locket Chatterjee(C) asked her women supporters to resort to violence against police if and when required.

Two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have been accused of inciting violence in West Bengal even as the coaxing was not reported against their traditional competitors in the state - the Trinamool Congress (TMC).

The BJP leaders purportedly asked their supporters to resort to violence against the police.

Kalosona Mondal, BJP leader in Birbhum district in West Bengal, said it was the police not the Trinamool Congress (TMC) that was the opponent of people of the state. He then urged his supporters to attack the police personnel and ensured that "nothing will happen" if they did so.

"There is nothing to expect from the police of this district. If you show them weapons, then only they will listen to us. Don't hit the TMC people. If you hit them, there will be a case and they are not our competitors, the police are. Hit the police, nothing will happen," Mondal said.

In a similar incident, state BJP Mahila Morcha president Locket Chatterjee asked her woman supporters to take up "arms" and resort to "violence" as and when required.

"If we depend on the administration, we won't be able to do anything in our future. Few incidents that have occurred in past few days, the police has taken no steps for that. That's why I am requesting the women to equip themselves with arms in order to protect themselves," said Chatterjee.
