WB: TMC, Congress workers clash in Murshidabad, no injuries reported

The civic body, which was earlier considered a fiefdom of the party’s West Bengal PCC president Adhir Chowdhury, was taken over by TMC following defections in September last year.

Congress district chairman Abu Taher Khan blaming TMC for the clash said it was “pre-planned”. “TMC goondas were involved in the shameful act. They attacked and the Congress fought back.”

TMC was doing one illegal work after another, he alleged and demanded the arrest of those involved in the clash.

He said all public amenities – water supply, roads and sanitation had been hit under TMC rule.

Adhya, also a TMC leader, said the Congress had “deliberately harassed” and had gone to the municipality to “attack” him. The attack, he alleged was carried out by Chowdhury’s people.
