KRISHNAGAR, 11 FEB: BJP’s Nadia North district president Arjun Biswas was attacked by two unscrupulous men who hit his head with bamboo sticks when he came out from the party office near Challenge Morh in Krishnagar this afternoon.
Mr Biswas was immediately taken to the Saktinagar district hospital where the doctors prescribed him to be admitted as his injuries were critical.

The incident occurred at a time when a section of BJP workers who were disappointed in Mr Biswas for the ticket allotment to the candidates for Krishnagar municipal election, had launched an agitation in front of the party office this morning.
The agitating BJP workers had locked the party office three days ago and alleged that Mr Biswas had distributed tickets in exchange of money.

This morning, the irate BJP workers staged an agitation demanding that they would not open the door of the party office until Mr Biswas reached there for discussion.
Many senior BJP leaders on hearing the agitation also reached there and tried to pacify them. Later, they broke open the lock and sat inside the party office for discussion. Mr Biswas also reached there and discussed the matter with the disappointed BJP workers.
After the end of the meeting, when Mr Biswas came out from the party office two unidentified men came near to him and suddenly one of them who wore a helmet and mask held his collar and pulled him. Another man who held two bamboo sticks in his two hands hit him on his forehead. The BJP workers who also came out from the party office along with Mr Biswas tried to hold the attackers. But, they managed to flee the scene.
During the agitation, Sandip Majumdar, party’s spokesperson said, “There was no factional feud within the party over ticket distribution. Three days ago, we lost the key to the door. We tried to open the door with alternate keys. But when it was not opened, we broke the lock and opened the door.”

He also said “Some posters against Mr Biswas were put up on the wall of the party office, but these posters were put up by the ruling party’s workers to defame our image.”

Following the attack on Mr Biswas, Bivas Chandra Mondol, the party’s Nadia North district secretary, said, “The incident occurred suddenly. We could not recognize the attackers, but we will conduct a probe into this matter. Some workers who were unsatisfied over ticket distribution came here today, but following the meeting with them, there was no discontentment. All workers promised to work altogether at every ward in favour of the party nominated candidates. After that when Mr Biswas came out from the party office, he was suddenly attacked by two unidentified men.”
