TDP national president and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has condemned the violent incidents during BJP president Amit Shah’s roadshow in Kolkata. In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Mr. Naidu said, “Strongly condemn the violence perpetrated by the BJP and its workers yesterday in Kolkata. Let’s express solidarity with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and condemn Mr. Shah’s moves,” he said. The BJP, which has no strength in West Bengal, tried to portray Ms. Mamata Benarjee in poor light by resorting to violence, he alleged. “The Modi-Shah combine will not be successful in its endeavours to gain political mileage,” Mr. Naidu added.
