Kolkata Municipal Corporation officials demolished a temporary bamboo structure outside Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee's residence in Kalighat, citing it as an encroachment on the footpath. The demolition, carried out with the assistance of Kolkata Police and central forces, followed Banerjee's allegations of police surveillance around his residence. Banerjee, in response, vowed to continue his political fight against the BJP-led government, stating that no bulldozer could silence him. The incident has escalated tensions between the TMC and the BJP-led state government, with Banerjee accusing the police of failing to prevent an attack on his residence during his birthday celebrations.
