West Bengal minister says ‘no BJP role’ in attack on Mamata Banerjee’s convoy in North 24 Parganas

West Bengal's transport minister, Arjun Singh, stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had no role in the attack on former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's convoy in North 24 Parganas district. Singh further added that the BJP was against the attack, claiming those involved acted over their homes being "looted and demolished" during the Trinamool Congress (TMC) era.

The BJP MLA Sajal Ghosh also denied any support for such actions, questioning the circumstances surrounding Banerjee's movement and suggesting that the public should inform the police about their whereabouts. BJP state president Samik Bhattacharya echoed the same sentiment, condemning the incident and reaffirming the party's stance against such actions.

Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari also denied any involvement of the ruling BJP, attributing the protest to strong public anger against Banerjee.
