TMC Accuses BJP of Assassination Attempt on Mamata Banerjee

MP Kalyan Banerjee, traveling alongside the former Chief Minister and Rajya Sabha MP Dola Sen, characterized the assault as a calculated murder attempt. According to Mamata Banerjee, the projectiles were launched by agitators in the presence of police observers while the convoy traveled to visit the family of a deceased party worker. She noted that the outcome could have been fatal had the vehicle windows been open at the time of the impact.

West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya denied any party involvement, calling for a thorough police investigation into the events. The confrontation occurred against a backdrop of rising political friction, with crowds chanting slogans as the situation spiraled. Both parties now demand accountability, leaving the investigation into the identity of the perpetrators as the primary point of contention in an increasingly volatile region.
