West Bengal Education minister Partha Chatterjee Wednesday described BJP as a 'circus party' with leaders whose criticisms in reference to the Majerhat bridge that collapsed have little importance for the general people.
BJP leaders in the state like Mukul Roy, Locket Chatterjee and Rupa Ganguly have criticised the PWD for failing to properly maintain the bridge which collapsed Tuesday evening.
Asked to comment on it, Chatterjee told reporters here "The words of these leaders carry little importance ... They are only interested in getting their pictures clicked at incident spots."
"BJP has turned into a circus party," he said adding he wished BJP state President Dilip Ghosh would "put a lid on the utterances of such leaders."
