But “We are prepared for it. We know they will anything to stop the BJP. This is the kind of situation we have been facing in Bengal.”

The West Bengal ruling party denied the charges, saying that they have never stopped BJP from holding any meeting anywhere in the state.

TMC MP Dibyendu Adhikari, who was alleged by Ghosh to have been present on the spot when his (Ghosh’s) car was attacked denied his presence.
