Reacting sharply to the imposition of Section 144 in the area, Medinipur Lok Sabha parliamentarian stated, "We are meeting people to thank them for voting for us. Police is not allowing us to meet people, Sec 144 has been imposed at places. TMC supporters are attacking us, a few of our supporters and police personnel have been injured."
Earlier, the state administration had not given permission to the BJP leaders to organise Lok Sabha victory rallies, stating that this might create a law and order situation in the state. Similar restrictions were imposed by the state administration when BJP wanted to organise Lord Rama's yatra in West Bengal months ago.
