Political Turmoil: Suvendu Adhikari's Convoy Allegedly Attacked

Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, faced a tumultuous reception in Cooch Behar district, allegedly at the hands of TMC workers. Adhikari was leading a BJP protest outside the Superintendent of Police's office when his convoy was attacked, drawing BJP-TMC tensions to a dramatic peak.

The BJP claims this was a deliberate assault by the TMC, designed to intimidate Adhikari. According to BJP sources, TMC flags and black flags became weapons as protesters hurled abuses, shoes, and shattered vehicle windows, escalating the confrontation in Khagrabari area.

Conversely, TMC representatives have dismissed the attack as a BJP-staged drama, pointing fingers at possible internal strife within the BJP itself. While the truth remains contested, visual evidence supports aggressive displays involving TMC insignia, though no casualties have been officially reported.
