    Siliguri rally: BJP worker dies amid clash with Bengal cops
  • A senior worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) died on Monday during the party's rally in Siliguri, West Bengal.

    At the rally, BJP workers clashed with police officers in riot gear, who used teargas shells and water cannons to disperse the protesting workers.

    The rally was intended to be the BJP's show of strength ahead of next year's state Assembly polls.

  • As part of the rally, named 'Uttarkanya Abhiyan,' BJP supporters had planned to march to the state secretariat in north Bengal in protest against the Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) government.

    The BJP has alleged that the TMC government has not fulfilled its promises and has deprived people of the benefits of welfare schemes launched by the BJP-led central government.
