Clash After Amit Shah Rally Triggers Political Flashpoint
The unrest follows a clash between Trinamool Congress (TMC) and BJP workers near Bankura More on Sunday night. According to BJP leaders, the confrontation began after a post-rally event featuring music following Amit Shah’s public meeting in Durgapur. They alleged that TMC supporters objected to the music, leading to a heated argument that escalated into violence, reported ABP Ananda.
BJP claimed that one of its local leaders was assaulted and suffered a head injury, while two individuals from both sides were seriously injured and admitted to Durgapur Sub-Divisional Hospital. Police later arrested three individuals from both parties on Tuesday, prompting the BJP’s protest.
TMC, however, offered a counter-narrative, alleging that BJP workers attacked a party office and assaulted two of its members following the incident. The ruling party also claimed that homes of its workers were targeted.
Political War of Words Intensifies
During the protest, BJP workers demanded the immediate release of their detained members and warned of a larger agitation if action was not taken against alleged TMC leaders involved in the clash.
