Speaking to reporters, Muraleedharan said, “This cannot be the culture of Bengal. Women are being attacked. This is nothing but goondagardi. Even today my vehicle was targeted. I will give a report to the Centre in this regard.”

BJP National President JP Nadda has criticized the attack on the convoy of Union Minister V Muraleedharan. 

He said that the law and order situation in the entire West Bengal has collapsed. Since TMC's victory in the assembly elections, there have been reports of violence from many areas of West Bengal. 

According to the police, at least 17 people have died in it. BJP has termed TMC responsible for this, while TMC alleges that BJP workers are doing so.

BJP alleges that TMC supporters have started attacking party workers everywhere after the unexpected victory in the elections.
