The police today stopped a BJP rally taken out by party National Secretary and in-charge of West Bengal Siddharth Nath Singh at Champdani in Hooghly district as the party did not have permission to hold the rally at that time.
Inspector In-Charge of Bhadreswar police station Anudyuti Majumdar said Singh's rally was to be held at 3 PM but it was started after 4.30 PM, so we requested the BJP leadership to postpone the rally.
Majumdar said the request was made as the Trinamool Congress had obtained permission to take out a rally at the same place at that time.
After the police stopped the BJP rally at Champdani, BJP workers blocked G T Road for about 30 minutes.
Singh alleged that Trinamool Congress workers had stopped his convoy at Tarakeshwar in Hooghly district some days ago and today the police stopped him from holding the rally.
