The BJP alleged that Ms. Banerjee was trying to turn a “simple accident” into a conspiracy and demanded an investigation by the CBI. “It may happen that she had an accident, but claiming that she was deliberately pushed is not acceptable. She has a lot of security personnel watching her around the clock,” BJP national secretary general Kailash Vijayvargiya told the PTI news agency.

Ms Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress faces a major challenge from the BJP this time around, with the rival party unleashing its full power from top leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his Bengal campaign.
The Bengal elections will take place over eight rounds and 33 days in a marathon program that, according to Trinamool, was extended on the instructions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top BJP leaders.
