The BJP alleged that the Trinamool-backed miscreants have hurled crude bombs at the BJP workers. However, the TMC has denied all the allegations.
Local TMC leaders claimed that BJP leaders and activists were planting bombs to create an atmosphere of terror in the area before the polls. It is alleged that Varun Pramanik, who had just joined the BJP, was making the bombs at the house of BJP activist Balaram Mandal. Trinamool leaders have claimed that the ruling party was not involved in the incident.
