TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee was allegedly attacked by local residents during his visit to Sonarpur to meet families affected by post-poll violence. Reacting to the incident, Banerjee blamed the BJP, claiming the attack was politically motivated.

"It's all BJP-sponsored. Look what they have done. This is their example of democracy. It hasn't even been a month, and the police are nowhere to be seen," Banerjee said.
