A delegation comprising four leaders of the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) reached the violence-hit areas of Asansol on Sunday (1 April) in spite of the prohibitory orders in place by the Mamata Banerjee government.

According a Telegraph report, the committee included Rajya Sabha member and BJP national vice-president Om Prakash Mathur, BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain, Palamu Member of Parliament (MP) Vishnu Dayal Ram and Rajya Sabha MP Roopa Ganguly.



Hussain, one of the delegation members, blamed the ruling Trinamool Congress government for failing to control the situation in the Asansol-Raniganj belt of the West Burdwan district. "We will report to Amitji. The state government has failed to maintain law and order in the area," said Hussain.
