Adhikari escaped unhurt, but the BJP has strongly condemned the incident. Speaking to reporters, Suvendu has termed it a “pre-planned murderous attempt”. The BJP has alleged that the ambush was orchestrated with the support of TMC’s top leadership. BJP leaders claimed the attack could not have happened without strong political backing and accused local police of remaining passive during the chaos.
The Trinamool Congress, however, dismissed the allegations.
