She said, “After the change of government in the state, law and order has collapsed. The police administration is a mute spectator. The BJP has now planned to attack me. These are not ordinary people; they are BJP workers.”
Later, she posted another video on X, tagging the Bengal police chief. “For the past 2 hours… your police is watching the fun and not dispersing the mob. They want me to flee, and they will pelt eggs/stones while I enter my car,” Moitra tweeted.
