‘We condemn such incidents’: BJP's Samik Bhattacharya denies party role in alleged attack on Mamata Banerjee's car
Reacting to the incident, suspended TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee alleged that stones were repeatedly hurled at Mamata Banerjee's vehicle.
Political tensions escalated in West Bengal on Sunday following an alleged stone-pelting incident against Mamata Banerjee's car, with the ruling BJP and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) accusing each other. Suspended TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee claimed that stones were continuously hurled at Banerjee's vehicle, describing it as an attempt to murder and alleging the presence of hundreds of BJP workers and a silent police force.
TMC leader Dola Sen questioned why Banerjee should not have been allowed to visit the family of a party worker who died in police custody, accusing the administration of allowing such incidents. BJP state president Samik Bhattacharya firmly denied any party involvement, stating that the BJP condemns such acts and would take appropriate action if necessary.
State Minister Agnimitra Paul also condemned the alleged attack, emphasizing that the BJP and the state government do not support such behavior, especially against a woman and an elderly woman.
