Trinamool Congress MLA Kunal Ghosh’s car was attacked at Uttarpara in Hooghly district on Saturday while he was on his way to attend a rally of former chief minister Mamata Banerjee at Serampore in the same district.
“BJP goons attacked my car while I was on my way to attend Banerjee’s rally. A mob, armed with lathis, rods, and carrying black posters, was shouting slogans. A second mob blocked the road. They hurled eggs and bricks and broke both the windshields. Glass shards fell all over me.
I couldn’t go ahead any further,” he said.
Ghosh can’t say this in public as it would be a huge embarrassment for the party. That’s why he is dragging the BJP. Damaging the car of an MLA is condemnable, and if the MP is behind this, then it is very dangerous for democracy.
“We have received some inputs from unconfirmed sources that supporters of TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee have said that they will not allow Ghosh to enter the area, and that’s why they attacked his car. The state should take action,” Debjit Sarkar, BJP spokesperson, told the media
