<h2><strong>TMC blames BJP</strong></h2><p>The incident immediately drew a political reaction from the Trinamool Congress, with party leaders accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of being behind the attack, calling the incident the “handiwork of the BJP”.</p><p>The incident occurred hours before Mamata Banerjee was due to address supporters at the Serampore Court grounds. The venue itself had been the subject of a legal dispute, with the Calcutta High Court eventually permitting the meeting under specified conditions. These included a restriction on the number of people attending and requirements concerning police arrangements.</p><h2><strong>Fresh tensions over police action</strong></h2><p>The confrontation involving Ghosh came as relations between the TMC and police in the area remained strained ahead of the rally. Two TMC volunteers, Sudip Acharya and Nur Islam, were arrested by police on Thursday in cases related to alleged extortion. The arrests became another point of contention between the party and the authorities. The TMC subsequently claimed that police had detained more than 150 of its workers across the district, including women. Serampore MP Kalyan Banerjee criticised the alleged crackdown.</p><p>“Police have started a massive action against our workers and have rounded up more than 150 of them, including women.”</p><p>With Banerjee’s rally scheduled amid the dispute, the attack on Ghosh’s vehicle has added another flashpoint to an already tense political situation in Serampore.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
