Attack on convoy of BJP Leaders, including JP Nadda in West Bengal, has come as a shocker. Although violent clashes between TMC and BJP workers have become a common phenomenon, attack on Nadda’s convoy is seen as an act of desperation by the beleaguered Trinamool Congress.
Although Mamata Banerjee sought to play down the incident as a ‘Nautanki’ by BJP and TMC released a video claiming Nadda’s car collided with an auto, leading to the chaos, Bengal remains tense.
The TMC is definitely on the back foot and may do everything possible to stop BJP in a heavily polarised atmosphere.
