RANCHI: Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) elected representatives in the recently held Panchayat election in West Bengal are taking refuge in Jharkhand to escape violent supporters of the Trinamool Congress , the party’s Jharkhand unit said on Monday.BJP state president Lakshman Gilua said hundreds of BJP workers are fleeing West Bengal with their families to avoid being killed at the hands of TMC cadres who unleashed a reign of terror after the Panchayat poll results were declared last month.Gilua accused the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal of running a ‘Goonda Raj’ and making a mockery of the country’s democracy by chasing away the elected members of rural bodies. He apprehended that the number of refugees may rise in coming days.The saffron party said their workers and elected Panchayat Pradhan are seeking refuge in the northern districts of Dumka, Pakur, Sahibganj from Birbhum, Burdwan and Murshidabad districts in West Bengal. BJP workers from Purulia and Bankura districts have fled to Ranchi to save their lives.Ranchi MP Ramtahal Choudhary on Sunday visited 16 of them who took refuge in Bundu, 35 kilometers from the state capital.
