Sonarpur: Trinamool Congress MP and Mamata Banerjee’s nephew, Abhishek Banerjee’s old remark threatening Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) voters during the election campaigning, has gone viral after he was assaulted, had eggs thrown at him, and his shirt torn by locals during his visit to families of post-poll violence victims on Saturday. “I spared you (BJP voters) last time; this time I will take full responsibility for dealing with you. After May 4, I’ll see whose father comes from Delhi to save you. We will see who comes to save you on May 4.””I will see which godfather from Delhi comes to your rescue… I challenge Amit Shah… If you have the guts and if you are truly your father’s son, then be present in Bengal after the results. I want to see how big a thug you are,” Kanchan Gupta, Senior Advisor at the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, posted Banerjee’s remarks on X, attaching a video of Saturday’s incident. “Karma is unforgiving,” Gupta wrote.
