Mamata Banerjee On Nephew Abhishek Banerjee's Assault

Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed her nephew and Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee had "blood clots" in his chest after the attack on him in Bengal's Sonarpur. She also alleged that Abhishek could have died had it not been for someone putting a helmet on him. Locals heckled and threw eggs at Abhishek on Saturday evening when he went to meet party workers in South 24 Parganas' Sonarpur - who were affected by violence following the party's loss in the assembly election. The crowds who confronted Abhishek Banerjee also raised slogans, including "chor, chor" against him. BJP leader Keya Ghosh, responding to the allegations by the Trinamool party leaders, said that the attack on Abhishek Banerjee was a "karma" to them.
