Condemning the incident, MLA Rupjyoti Kurmi said that it was as an assault on democracy. “The BJP has let loose a series of activities all over the country whereby the democratic institutions have been undermined. This is not a healthy sign for growth of democracy in the country,” he said. MLA Durga Bhumij was equally vocal against BJP and termed the incident as matter of concern for all democratic people. He said the present NDA government had failed on all fronts. They have failed to execute whatever they had promised to the people before the elections, he added.
