This just goes to show that jungle raj is prevailing in Bengal. Can`t Opposition leaders hold election campaigns here?"

Following the reported interruption of a roadshow he was leading on behalf of BJP candidate Debashree Chowdhury in South Kolkata on Thursday, Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha expressed his deep concern that the state has gone into a `forest raj`.
Speaking to ANI after the roadshow was allegedly stopped, the Tripura CM said, "The police stopped our roadshow saying that we did not have the permission to go ahead. We had only just started the roadshow after taking all necessary permission and clearances from the authorities. This just goes to show that jungle raj is prevailing in Bengal. Can`t Opposition leaders hold election campaigns here?"
