Lenin was a terrorist, why have his statue in India, asks BJP MP Subramanian Swamy

A day after Lenin's statue was razed in post-poll violence in Tripura, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy said, "Lenin was a foreigner and a terrorist, why we do we need his statue in India?"

BJP stung the Left in power in Tripura for the last 25 years winning 46 of the state's 60 seats.

The Lenin statue was mowed down by a mob using a JCB, and this is day after the CPM accused BJP workers of vandalising CPM offices in different parts of Tripura like Bishalgarh, Amarendranagar, Mohanpur, Sabroom, Melagarh, Khowai, Jirania, Khomlung, Belonia and Agartala's Ramnagar and South Ramnagar.

The incident was caught on camera and went viral on social media.
