West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh on Friday criticised the Trinamool Congress for leashing violence on party's workers in the state and said his party is strong and capable for responding with a befitting counter-reply.
"If there is violence, BJP will not stay silent. Today BJP is strong enough to give a befitting reply to any sort of violence," Ghosh said while addressing a press conference in the capital. He also urged the party workers to not indulge in violence.
During the general elections, BJP and TMC had frequently accused each other of resorting to violence.
Asked about the TMC leaders in touch with the BJP, he said, "That is a long list."
As for the Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee, Ghosh advised her to take a trip to Haridwar with a "cool mind".
