Police cited prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.PC), which bans the assembly of four or more persons at one place, to stop the BJP and Congress teams at Rampur, around two kilometers from Sandeshkhali.
The BJP team was formed by party chief JP Nadda on Friday and comprised six members. It was stopped around 11 am.
The Congress team was led by state unit chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and was stopped around 3 pm. "You saw how the TMC and BJP played the communal card to secure seats in the 2021 assembly polls in Bengal.
This card is being played again at Sandeshkhali. Forget President's Rule, the BJP will not even declare this region a disturbed area," said Chowdhury. Imposition of President's rule was recommended by a National Commission of Scheduled Caste team that visited Sandeshkhali on Thursday.
The BJP team, led by Union minister of state for education Annapurna Devi, returned to Kolkata and met governor C V Ananda Bose, who visited Sandeshkhali on February 12.
