Ganguly, who was accompanied by West Bengal BJP leader Jaiprakash Majumder, was however prevented to visit the epicentre of the blast - Brahmonberia under Pingla police station where the cracker unit was located.
"This shows the autocratic attitude of the state administration who are not allowing us to meet the people of village in a democrcy. While there seems to be no rule of law in state, the government believes in force and coercion," an agitated Ganguly said after having some argument with policemen who prevented them.
Opposition Left Front and BJP have alleged that a bigger terror network was operating there and the state government was trying to hush up the matter.
