The delegation would also meet officiating Governor Padmanabha Balakrishna Acharya.
BJP state president Sudhindra Dasgupta had alleged that he along with state party secretary Tapas Bhattacharya and two other party members were attacked by ruling CPI(M) activists at Dakshin Maheshpur in Sipahijala district on July 22 last and police allegedly remained as silent spectator.
He alleged that CPI-M cadre had let loose terror after announcements of the panchayat elections results on July 17.
