Graffiti threat to Santipur MLA Arindam Bhattacharya: Leave turf or die

SANTIPUR:

Graffiti has appeared in Nadia’s Santipur

, asking Trinamool Congress-turned-BJP leader and

MLA Arindam Bhattacharya

to leave the place within seven days or face death.

Bhattacharya said he would stay put in his constituency. “I fear this is the handiwork of the Trinamool. The party has realised that it is losing ground fast. Party leaders are trying to create an atmosphere of terror. I accept the challenge,” the MLA said.

Posters and

graffiti

in two wards of Santipur Municipality appeared since Bhattacharya joined the BJP in Delhi on January 20. Trinamool’s Nadia leaders have denied the allegations.
