The MP and his party blamed members of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) for the attack.

“Trinamool Congress workers assaulted us. They were shouting slogans at us. They did not want us to visit the flood-affected areas before chief minister Mamata Banerjee. Some local police personnel, who were at the spot, did not come to our rescue,” Ghosh told reporters.
