A day after the Leader of Opposition said that an explosion in the politics of West Bengal was imminent, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged on Sunday that the BJP is targeting her and her nephew, the Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, but they are not concerned.
“This talk about exploding bombs. I am the target and so is Abhishek. They are very dangerous. They could kill us. But we are not concerned about our safety,” the Chief Minister said, while addressing a gathering in Kumarganj.
Ms. Banerjee was campaigning for Balurghat Lok Sabha party candidate and State Minister Biplab Mitra. The Trinamool Congress chairperson launched a scathing attack on a former cabinet colleague, without naming the person.
