Mitali Bag's car vandalized in Goghat
On Monday in Goghat, TMC MP Mitali Bag's car was vandalized.
She went live on Facebook, saying BJP workers targeted her for being a woman and Dalit MP: "See how BJP miscreants have vandalized the car... Voting hasn't even started yet. Look at how they are trying to stifle the voice of a woman."
The BJP called her claims "staged drama," countering that TMC goons led by local leader Sanjay Khan attacked BJP workers with sticks, bricks, and rods.
Police have arrested three linked to the BJP over the incident.
