The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday announced that it will hold a nationwide dharna (agitation) on May 5 (the day when Mamata Banerjee will take oath as Bengal CM for the third term) against the widespread violence unleashed by Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers post the election results. The saffron party informed that the protest will be held following all Covid protocols across all organisational mandals of the party.

Also, in view of the post election situation in West Bengal and attack on BJP workers, party chief JP Nadda is likely to visit the state on Tuesday, Kailash Vijayvargiya has informed.
