Bharatiya Janata Party national president JP Nadda has tested positive for coronavirus.
“On getting the initial symptoms of corona, I got the test done and the report came back positive. My health is fine, following all the guidelines in home isolation on the advice of doctors,” tweeted Nadda.
“My request is, whoever has come in contact in the last few days, please isolate yourself and get yourself checked,” urged the national president.
Recently, JP Nadda’s convoy was pelted with stones by TMC goons at Sirakol in Diamond Harbour area of South 24 Parganas district, where he had gone to address a rally. Nadda called the attack “unprecedented” and alleged the state has slipped into “complete lawlessness and goonda raj”.
“Bengal has descended into an era of tyranny, anarchy and darkness under the Trinamool rule. The manner in which political violence has been institutionalized and brought to the extreme in West Bengal under TMC rule is sad and worrying,” Amit Shah, home minister, tweeted.
Seven persons were arrested in West Bengal for their alleged involvement in the attack, according to officials.
