A newly constructed Trinamool Congress party office at Bolpur with a separate 'Thakur Ghar' having several deities installed in it has drawn flak from the BJP saying it's a cover on their "minority appeasement policy."
TMC'S Birbhum district pesident Anubrata Mondal said "we have equal respect for all religions. We have placed a replica of Azmer Sharif Dargah too. In my office room there is a replica of Data Saheb (a Sufi saint of Birbhum)."
Reacting to it, the district BJP president Ramkrishna Roy said "with all these drama TMC is trying to mislead the people. The people are angry with their minority appeasement policy."
