Guwahati (Assam) [India], November 11 (ANI): The BJP leaders from Assam have slammed Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi from the state after he insinuated a connection between the Delhi blast and the second phase of voting in the Bihar Assembly election.
“My discerning friend tells me that it was a very predictable course of action before the last round of Bihar elections!” Bordoloi said in a post on X after the Delhi blast that took place near the iconic Red Fort on Monday evening, killing at least eight people and injuring several others.
Reacting to this, Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika said in a post on X, “This man @pradyutbordoloi is a Congress MP who wins his election by appeasing one particular vote bank. Don’t such termites constitute the two-and-a-half-front war which confronts India?”
Another Assam Minister and BJP leader, Kaushik Rai, said that the Congress MP has “already set his propaganda machine in motion.”
“Barely hours after the blast, this man has already set his propaganda machine in motion. Unfortunately for us, he happens to be an elected Member of Parliament from Congress. Have some decency, man!” Rai said in a post on X.
BJP MLA Manab Deka said,” Are you in touch with the bombers or someone from Pakistan tipped you? You are a disgrace.”
Meanwhile, Delhi Police have registered a case in connection with the blast under various Sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Explosives Act, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
“A case has been registered under sections 16, 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and various sections of the Explosives Act and the BNS at the Kotwali Police Station,” Delhi Police said.
Earlier, speaking with ANI, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that a blast occurred in a Hyundai i20 car at the Subhash Marg traffic signal near the Red Fort in Delhi at 7 pm on Monday, and the explosion injured some pedestrians and damaged some vehicles.
