Eggs Thrown, 'Chor-Chor' Slogans At Mamata Banerjee's Rally In West Bengal

A Trinamool Congress protest march led by Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata witnessed high drama after eggs were allegedly thrown at the rally and slogans of "chor, chor" were raised. The march, organised over the Baruipur incident, also saw clashes between BJP workers and the Trinamool Congress youth wing, prompting police to resort to a baton charge. Tensions escalated along the route and peaked near Hazra Crossing, close to Banerjee's residence. Mamata accused the police of acting like "an arm of the BJP" and alleged they failed to protect the rally. BJP, however, claimed Trinamool workers provoked the clashes. Earlier, the Calcutta High Court had permitted the rally with conditions, including a modified route, revised timings, a cap of 1,000 participants, and restrictions on loudspeakers.
