BJP leaders have dismissed allegations that they orchestrated the protest against Abhishek Banerjee in Sonarpur. They claim the incident reflected public anger over alleged political violence, displacement, and cases registered during Trinamool Congress rule. Responding to claims of a conspiracy, BJP leaders said slogans, eggs, and protests were expressions of public resentment rather than an assassination attempt. The confrontation has intensified the political war between the BJP and TMC following recent electoral developments in West Bengal.
