The Story in Brief
TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee on Monday alleged that Sunday’s attack on Mamata Banerjee’s convoy in North 24 Parganas was “state-sponsored”. He claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah backed it, and that West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari “executed” it. Abhishek said the protesters had been “spotted with BJP leaders in multiple instances”.
BJP state unit president Samik Bhattacharya condemned the attack and denied any party role. Transport minister Arjun Singh said those involved acted over their homes being “looted and demolished” during TMC rule. Mamata, who visited Bizpur to meet a deceased TMC worker’s family, said stones and shoes were thrown at her vehicle. Protester complaints cited a police death in custody.
The Indian Opinion
The charge that a chief minister personally ‘executed’ a stone-throwing incident feels overheated without proof. Both TMC and BJP are playing to their bases: one cries conspiracy, the other deflects to voter anger over demolitions. Neither side offers evidence, no FIR names, no CCTV grabs, no independent witness. A simple test: if police arrest the attackers and their phones show BJP links, the narrative shifts. If not, this is just another cycle of accusation with zero accountability.
