New Delhi (NVI): BJP president JP Nadda’s convoy was today attacked near Kolkata this afternoon allegedly by TMC supporters. Some BJP leaders were injured in the attack and vehicles were damaged, the party has alleged.
Nadda’s convoy was pelted with stones and bricks while he was on his way to Diamond Harbour today.
Following the attack, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has ordered a probe into the incident and asked for a report on what he called “sponsored violence”.
However, Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee has called it a drama and refuted the allegations by BJP.
Notably, the assembly election in West Bengal is months away but clashes between BJP and TMC cadres have been on the rise recently.
