TMC blamed BJP for Kolkata violence; Shah says survived Trinamool 'attack' because of CRPF

BJP President Amit Shah said on Wednesday that what happened in Kolkata during his roadshow on Tuesday was not violence but an attack by Trinamool Congress "goons" and that he would not have escaped unhurt if there was no CRPF protection. 

Calling BJP President Amit Shah a "liar and cheater", the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Wednesday accused the BJP of vandalizing Bengali polymath Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's statue during clashes at his roadshow in Kolkata on Tuesday.
