A number of hand-written posters threatening a state minister was found in Nadia district of West Bengal on Tuesday, leading to a blame game between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the opposition BJP.
"Ratna Ghosh, beware. Giving you three days. Watch your steps. Don't create disturbance in the area," the posters read.
Written in Bengali in bold red paint on white paper, the message was signed by 'Mahakaal', an incarnation of Lord Shiva.
Ratna Ghosh, an MLA of Chakdaha constituency in the district, is the minister of state for small and cottage industries.
The posters were found pasted on walls near Shimurali rail station complex and in the local market under Chakdaha police station limits in the morning.
Local TMC leaders tore up the posters.
Ghosh said, "The BJP is behind this and we have lodged a complaint with the police and the Election Commission."
