Talking to the media, Ghosh said that his entire body was covered with shattered glass from his car.
“The Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers assaulted us. They didn’t want us to visit the flood affected areas before Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. They said that they are ‘didi’s warriors’ and they will take care of everything. Few local police were there but they didn’t come to help us,” said BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh.

“Despite such a critical situation, the Chief Minister was seen dancing at Durga Carnival. Today her party miscreants are creating havoc in this manner. Mamata got welcomed in North Bengal by shedding blood of our Adivasi leader Khagen Murmu,” mentioned Bhattacharya.
The TMC however, rubbished the allegations.
