Two BJP leaders attacked during visit to flood-hit areas, alleges W Bengal LoP Suvendu Adhikari

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], October 6 (ANI): West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Monday accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of orchestrating violence by sending her supporters to allegedly attack BJP leaders and workers and obstruct relief work.

Adhikari claimed that while BJP MPs and MLAs were targeted for visiting flood-affected areas in North Bengal and distributing relief. He alleged that MP Khagen Murmu sustained injuries and MLA Shankar Ghosh vehicle was attacked.

The BJP leader Adhikari also criticised Mamata Banerjee for attending a carnival with celebrities while flood-hit areas in North Bengal faced severe devastation.

In a post on X, Adhikari wrote, Mamata Banerjee is on full Panic Mode. She has realized it (quite late) that the People of West Bengal have despised her inhuman act of Dancing at Carnival with Celebrities when North Bengal was reeling under floods and landslides, with many People losing their lives and thousands left shelterless. In contrast, BJP Bengal MLAs & MPs were on ground doing their bit to provide relief to the affected People.

So, she has now pressed the panic button and has now unleashed her goons belonging from the Special Community and incited them to attack the BJP MPs and MLAs so that they can be refrained from engaging in relief work. MP Shri Khagen Murmu was brutally attacked and has been left with bloody injuries in Nagrakata today when he was accompanying BJP Bengal President Shri Samik Bhattacharya to the flood-affected areas. MLA Dr Shankar Ghosh vehicle also came under attack in the presence of Police. Mamata Banerjee, you cant intimidate BJP, the post read.
