Conditions apply, but BJP prez can hold rally in Kolkata on Sunday

November 28, 2014 17:07

Just in: The Kolkata High Court has granted conditional permission for Amit Shah's rally on Sunday. The court has said that two special officers will assist the BJP to ensure rules are complied with. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, we hear, is choking on her Hilsa bone.

A fight over BJP president Amit Shah's rally in Kolkata on Sunday drove the BJP to court the third time in 10 days. The party moved the Calcutta High Court again after being denied permission for the rally by the city corporation and the fire brigade.

"This must be a record in India...perhaps it can be entered in the Guinness book...we have gone to court three times to seek this venue," was the acerbic statement of the BJP's Rahul Sinha after the corporation turned down his party's application.
