Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders have expressed outrage over the Kolkata Police's recent visit to the home of Abhishek Banerjee, the party's National General Secretary, labeling it as a politically motivated act orchestrated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). TMC MP Saugata Roy emphasized that the police actions are part of a broader pattern of targeting TMC leaders across West Bengal, asserting that there is no factual basis for the allegations against Banerjee. The police were reportedly investigating an alleged illegal construction case, but TMC leaders, including Shobhandeb Chattopadhyay, questioned the rationale for police involvement, noting that Banerjee had previously sought clarification from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation regarding the allegations. The controversy intensified after BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari claimed that several individuals linked to the TMC had accumulated multiple properties, a charge the TMC vehemently denies, calling it a fabricated smear campaign against their leadership.
