Clashes between BJP workers, police in Kolkata
Kolkata: Clashes broke out between BJP workers and police personnel here on Wednesday during a massive rally organized by the party in protest against post-poll violence and an alleged attack on its workers and supporters.
As the BJP activists jostled to reach the Bowbazar crossing in the city, police resorted to firing tear gas shells and water cannons to disperse them.
In retaliation, the saffron party workers raised slogans and hurled stones and bottles at the officers.
Some of the party workers were seen holding a sit-in demonstration in the area in protest.
