West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has challenged the BJP to target her residence and those of other Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders, accusing the party of backing attacks on leaders in the state.
Addressing a rally in Kolkata, Banerjee issued a sharp warning to the BJP over the alleged attack on the residence of state minister Shashi Panja.
Four people were arrested for allegedly being involved in the clash, while raids were underway to apprehend others linked to the incident.
Banerjee further accused the BJP of orchestrating the attack and condemned the alleged violence on the day of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in the state.
The rally was held amid reports of a shortage of LPG gas cylinders amid the ongoing conflict in the West Asia.
The development comes a day after the Election Commission announced the schedule for the West Bengal Assembly elections, which will be held in two phases on April 23 and April 29.
