Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee was seen getting beaten up by locals during his visit to Sonarpur to meet the families of victims of the post-poll violence on Saturday. In addition, he was seen wearing a cricket helmet to protect himself from the crowd.
Later, speaking to the press, he claimed that not one policeman was present at the site to provide protection to him. He said, “It’s all BJP-sponsored. Look what they have done. This is their example of democracy. It hasn’t even been a month, and the police are nowhere to be seen.”
