Locals heckled and allegedly threw eggs on Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee today when he went to meet party workers who were affected by violence following the party's loss in the assembly election. He was taken to Apollo Hospital. His aunt and former chief minister Mamata Banerjee also rushed in to see him at the hospital. The incident happened in South 24 Parganas' Sonarpur. Some Trinamool workers there had alleged they were targeted by political rivals after their loss in the election.
The leader was reportedly going to the house of a Trinamool worker who was killed. The crowds who confronted Abhishek Banerjee also raised slogans including "chor, chor" against him. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media. Banerjee, in a white shirt and a cricket helmet, walked amid a sea of shouting people as they pushed and grabbed him. Police personnel wearing protective gear rushed to the scene and escorted out the Trinamool leader.
The BJP has rubbished allegations by Trinamool leaders that the ruling party was behind the incident.
