The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) has responded vigorously to allegations regarding a Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) notice purportedly involving Abhishek Banerjee, its National General Secretary and MP. The AITC described the reports as 'completely false, fabricated, and devoid of any credibility,' accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of leaking the notice to orchestrate a smear campaign. In its official statement, the AITC urged journalists to independently verify facts rather than propagate narratives from the BJP. BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari claimed that several TMC members, including Banerjee, possess numerous properties, alleging corruption. Suspended TMC leader Riju Dutta added that the KMC could initiate demolition actions if satisfactory documents were not provided. Amid rising political tensions in West Bengal following the BJP's recent electoral victory, Banerjee announced plans for protests against what he termed the BJP's 'bulldozer culture.' He asserted his commitment to continue fighting against the BJP's actions, stating, 'Let them do whatever they want... I won't bow down over these things.'
