Surviving members of slain BJP activists to attend Modi’s swearing-in-ceremony in New Delhi

Surviving members of slain BJP activists from
this tribal district of Purulia in West Bengal will attend Narendra
Modi’s swearing-in ceremony in New Delhi on Thursday as a contingent
of saffron brigade left here after being invited for the greatest show
of democracy in India.
BJP’s triumph in this part of India was not an easy task as an
estimated 100 people have been killed in the past three years, a statement
often uttered by party’s national president Amit Shah during his at least
17 visits for electioneering in the past three months in Bengal.
Among the killings, three scenes were horrible and visibly a stink
off quoted democracy where the victims”s bodies were hung from the tree
to show the brutality of politics.
BJP activists Dulal Kumar, Trilochan Mahato and Sishupal, all were hardly
early 20s, who were murdered and hung from the tree to create fear-psychosis
among the commoners in this tribal heartland, a drought-prone area of
South Bengal.
Just before Panchayat poll in 2018, the villagers found the
body of Trilochan Mahta hanging from a tree and a handwritten
poster on the back declaring the punishment for endorsing the saffron politics.
And the body of Dulal Kumar was found hanging below a post of high
tension wire public power distribution system. While the above two
were murdered during panchayat poll, Sishupal was brutally murdered
during Lok Sabha poll.
So winning 18 seats out of total 42 have come with a price, which can
not be compensated in terms of money as the bereaved family members
still, mourn the loss of young blood amid poverty and crunch of basic
resources for basic living.
Party sources said Amit Shah is keen on having all those bereaved family
members from Purulia to be present during the swearing-in ceremony.
