Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee alleges that BJP supporters attacked his Kolkata residence in the Kalighat area around 2 am on his birthday/birth anniversary, prompting a dispute between TMC and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal. Several reports say Banerjee shares video footage and alleges reconnaissance activity near his home before the incident.
Banerjee claims the attack is the seventh attempt on his life in six months and criticises police and courts, according to the coverage. The Hindu also reports that his mother, TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, accuses the BJP of targeting Trinamool supporters. BJP leader Dilip Ghosh questions Banerjee’s birthday gathering and responds that the allegations are overstated.
Across outlets, the core details align: an alleged attack at Banerjee’s residence, an ensuing shouting match or clash involving party workers, and competing characterisations by TMC and BJP. Differences mainly relate to how much background is included (such as alleged reconnaissance videos) and how prominently outlets feature the “seventh attempt” framing.
