Clashes between BJP supporters and police ensued as the saffron cadre from across West Bengal started arriving in Kolkata and neighbouring Howrah to take part in 'Nabanna Abhijan' or march to secretariat to protest against alleged corrupt practices of the TMC government.

The BJP has hired several trains - three from north Bengal and four from south Bengal - to bring its party members and supporters from different parts of the state to the metropolis and Howrah for the march.

Traffic restrictions have been put in place along several key stretches of the city in view of the BJP's 'Nabanna Abhijan'.

Barricades have also been placed on the Second Hooghly Bridge, which connects the metropolis with Nabanna.

BJP national vice-president Dilip Ghosh is expected to lead the procession from north Kolkata, while leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari will be part of the rally from Santragachi area.

Party state president Sukanta Majumdar is likely to join the procession in north Kolkata.

The saffron camp has been taking out rallies across the state for the past couple of days, asking party workers to make the 'Nabanna Abhijan' a grand success.
