BJP MP Khagen Murmu, who was attacked in West Bengal, alleged that the attackers said they are from Trinamool Congress (TMC) and are "Didi's (West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee) men". "They were saying, 'Why have you come? The BJP has no business here'," Murmu stated. "They pushed...beat us, threw stones at our car, breaking...front and...back windshields," he added.
