BJP party office catches fire in West Bengal

BURDWAN: A BJP party office in Telipukur area of Burdwan town caught fire last night when no one was present in the building, police said.

None was injured in the fire considering that it took place at midnight when no one was there in the office, they said.

The investigation into the incident was on, they added. BJP Burdwan (rural) president Debi Prasad Mullick alleged that TMC, scared after the response to Amit Shah's rally here and BJP's vote share in the recent bypoll in the state was behind the incident.

Ruling out the charge, Trinamool Youth Congress District leader Shantanu Konar said the fire was a result of intra -party feud in BJP and TMC was not involved.
