BJP, brace yourself for the power of Bengal on May 2: Abhishek Banerjee

Kolkata: Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee on Thursday warned the Bharatiya Janata Party to get ready to see the power of people of Bengal on Sunday (May 2), the day of counting of votes of the Assembly elections.

He made the remark a day after West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee claimed she was attacked in Nandigram.

Abhishek Banerjee also tweeted an image of Mamata Banerjee admitted in hospital with her left leg in a cast.

"@BJP4Bengal  Brace yourselves to see the power of people of BENGAL on Sunday, May 2nd," Abhishek Banerjee tweeted.

"Get READY!!!" he said.

The Bengal Chief Minister claimed that she had sustained multiple injuries in legs, hands and forehead.

"When I was at a temple in Nandigram, four-five persons intentionally pushed me and manhandled me, it is clearly a conspiracy against me," Mamata Banerjee alleged.

"When the incident happened, neither the SP nor any local policeman was present there," Banerjee, who gets Z-plus category security by the state, claimed.

The state's ruling party chief was brought to Kolkata on Wednesday night from Nandigram and admitted to SSKM Hospital.

In a statement, the TMC said: "After widespread response from the people of Nandigram Block-1 yesterday, Ms Mamata Banerjee visited several places of Nandigram Block II after filing nomination at Haldia. She offered Puja in one after another temple. There was a massive response from people everywhere."

 Meanwhile, reports said the BJP would complain to the Election Commission against Banerjee for "spreading lies about attack for politics".

According to media reports, a BJP delegation will meet Election Commission officials in Kolkata to lodge a complaint against Mamata's charges.

Earlier in the noon, Banerjee, who is contesting from Nandigram seat in the assembly election, filed her nomination at Haldia and visited few temples as a part of her poll-campaign.

Earlier, the Election Commission had sought a detailed report on the alleged attack on Mamata Banerjee as well as the alleged security breach.
