The BJP on Thursday said
Talking to PTI on Thursday, BJP general secretary in- charge of West Bengal, Kailash Vijaywargiya, said, "These goldsmiths have approached me. My party will provide assistance to them, especially in terms of arranging e-passes and transport facilities."
Talking to PTI, Kamlesh Bera, president of the Indore Bengali Swarnakar Loksewa Samiti, an association goldsmiths from West Bengal, said, "Everyday, a number of Bengali goldsmiths are calling us over phone as they are facing difficulties in going back to their home state."
In a letter written to Banerjee on May 17, Chouhan said, "During the lockdown, these migrant workers want to return to their home place (West Bengal). But due to the long distance and no official means of transport, some migrant workers from private vehicles left for West Bengal which is expensive, inconvenient and unsafe option."
