West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Dilip Ghosh on Sunday came out in support of party MLA Akash Vijayvargiya, who was arrested four days ago for assaulting a civic official with a cricket bat in Indore. However, Vijayvargiya was released from a local jail on bail this morning. Defending Vijayvargiya for the infamous "cricket bat" incident, Ghosh said he is a young leader and seems to have done this in josh or was miffed with the behaviour of the local workers in the region.
"He is a young leader. He seems to have done this in 'Josh' or may be a reaction to the behaviour of the local workers there," Dilip Ghosh told India Today, adding that Vijayvargiya could have shown some resistance and self-control as the matter has become a matter of debate and discussion.
