TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh’s Car Allegedly Attacked by BJP Workers with 'Eggs and Bricks' on His Way to Mamata’s Rally
The TMC said attackers carrying black flags hurled eggs and stones, breaking the rear windshield and prompting Ghosh to file a police complaint.
- On Saturday, Trinamool Congress MLA Kunal Ghosh's car was pelted with eggs and stones in Uttarpara, Hooghly, while he traveled to a rally in Serampore. The vehicle's rear windshield was damaged in the attack.
- Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged that party leaders are under "house arrest" and prevented from attending the Serampore rally, accusing the government of turning a "blind eye to attacks" on supporters.
- Ghosh, who abandoned his journey, said, "I am lucky that the driver wasn't injured." He reported that no police personnel were present when a group surrounded his vehicle, shouting slogans and blocking the road.
- Returning to Kolkata, the MLA plans to lodge a formal complaint at Lal Bazaar or Bhawani Bhawan. Banerjee described the incident as "atrocities," questioning why the administration permits such terror on the streets.
- While the TMC blames BJP workers for the assault, the BJP has rejected these allegations. Reports noted that available footage did not show attackers carrying party flags, leaving involvement unverified.
