Agnimitra Paul, a minister from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), characterized the attack on Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Abhishek Banerjee as a clear indication of public anger towards the TMC's governance over the past 15 years. During a media briefing, Paul condemned the TMC for its history of violent politics, asserting that the public's frustration is now being expressed through incidents like the recent attack. Banerjee was assaulted in Sonarpur, South 24 Parganas, where he sustained injuries from thrown objects while visiting families affected by post-election violence. He claimed the attack was orchestrated by the BJP, an assertion that BJP leaders, including MP Shahnawaz Hussain, refuted by stating it was merely a reflection of the people's outrage against Banerjee's leadership.
