High-voltage drama is currently being seen in the politics of West Bengal. The case of alleged attack on senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and Diamond Harbor MP Abhishek Banerjee is no longer limited to the streets only, but has reached the corridors of the country’s Parliament and courts. According to sources, Abhishek Banerjee is going to submit detailed information about this violent incident that took place on May 30 to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. TMC believes that the attack on an elected public representative is a violation of democratic norms, for which they are also going to approach the court.
Preparation for fight from Parliament to Judiciary
TMC leadership is adopting a very aggressive stance regarding this entire matter. Party strategists say that the targeting of Abhishek Banerjee in Sonarpur, South 24 Parganas was not a minor incident. TMC is presenting the issue not only as a security lapse but also as violence being spread by opposition parties. The MP will soon meet the Lok Sabha Speaker in Delhi and tell him the entire incident, so that investigation of this matter can be ensured at the Parliament level.
War of allegations: politics of revenge vs infighting
After this attack, the round of political attacks and counterattacks has also intensified in the state. TMC made a direct attack on Bharatiya Janata Party and said that BJP is carrying out violent attacks as part of vendetta politics. On the other hand, BJP rejected these allegations outright and claimed that this is not the work of any opposition party but is the result of growing factionalism within TMC. BJP says that only TMC people are taking to the streets against their own people.
Kalyan Banerjee’s attack and deepening controversy
Not only Abhishek Banerjee, but another senior TMC leader and MP Kalyan Banerjee has also claimed to have been attacked. He says that on Sunday, BJP supporters attacked him in Hooghly when he had come to submit the memorandum with the workers. TMC leaders argue that as part of a well-planned conspiracy, an attempt is being made to intimidate their MPs and MLAs in the state, which is an attempt to disturb the law and order situation in the state.
Indifference of MLAs: Mamata Banerjee’s concern increased
The party is struggling with external attacks, but internal rifts have given sleepless nights to the high command. The biggest shock for Mamata Banerjee came during the recent meeting, where 80 party MLAs were summoned but the surprising thing was that only 20 of them turned up. That means around 60 MLAs remained absent from the meeting. Although party sources are calling it busyness, but political experts say that this absence of councilors resigning and now MLAs could be a sign of some major rebellion or break within TMC.
