Kolkata: If you are in Bengal, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi can have deadly consequences. Haribhakta Mandal is a youth from Bengal's Hooghly district who put up a Facebook post praising the prime minister. What happened next portrays the state in extremely poor light. Trinamool Congress (TMC) goons landed up at Mandal's house and dragged him out, and then more than a dozen of them beat Mandal up. If this is not a reign of terror, what is?
