TMC making alternative travel arrangements for participants of Delhi protest: Abhishek

Kolkata, Sep 30 (PTI) Senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee said his party will make alternative arrangements for taking its supporters to Delhi for the October 3 protest programme, accusing the BJP of creating roadblocks after the request for a special train was denied.

The TMC said its request for the special train from West Bengal to New Delhi for the protest programme was declined by the railways. The Eastern Railways contended that it received the request from the IRCTC and unavailability of rakes as sought by it was the reason for denial.

Addressing a press conference, Banerjee on Friday said if the participants of the programme are attacked while travelling to Delhi via BJP-ruled states, there would be repercussions.
