Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Wednesday alleged that “goons” from the Bharatiya Janata Party threw vegetables and eggs at a party office in West Bengal’s Krishnanagar.

Moitra represents Krishnanagar in the Lok Sabha.

She shared a video on social media in which a group of persons could be seen outside the office, throwing eggs and shouting slogans. The police were also present at the spot.

“This is a BJP mob that has been standing here for the past one hour,” the MP says in the video. “I have called the DGP [director general of police]. The police are sitting and watching. The CRPF [Central Reserve Police Force] is sitting and watching.”

Minutes later, she shared another video in which some persons were seen carrying BJP flags.

“These are no public outbursts,” Moitra wrote on social media. “These are coordinated BJP attacks. See the BJP flags.”

The TMC alleged that West Bengal has been “spiralling into unchecked violence, fear, and absolute anarchy every single day” since the BJP came to power in the state.

On May 4, the BJP defeated the TMC in the state polls, ending the party’s 15-year rule in West Bengal.

“They came to power loudly promising ‘Nari Suraksha’ [women’s safety], but it now appears that this so-called protection is reserved only for BJP’s own workers,” alleged the party.

It described the attack on Moitra’s office as “disturbing” and asked if it had become “the new normal for BJP-backed hooligans to gather anywhere and violently target anyone they please”.

“One thing stands absolutely exposed – these are not ordinary citizens,” claimed the TMC. “These are BJP-backed goons, emboldened and shielded by a complicit administration.”
