For the third consecutive day today, the Trinamool Congress organised protests here and across West Bengal over the arrest of its MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay in connection with the Rose Valley chit fund scam.
Incidents of BJP offices being ransacked by alleged TMC workers were reported from several parts of the state.
TMC supporters set up road blockades and shouted slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, accusing the Centre of pursuing vendetta politics. Effigies of Modi and Shah were also burnt.
State minister Sashi Panja led a rally in the central part of the city to protest against "dictatorship" of the Modi government.
Several BJP workers had been injured when TMC activists attacked the party headquarters in the city with stones day before yesterday followed by yesterday's bomb and stone attacks on the homes of state BJP leaders.
