Trinamul Congress on Friday accused Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb and the BJP of “political terrorism” in the northeastern state, alleging that Rajya Sabha member Sushmita Dev had sustained injuries from an attack at Amtali, where she was leading a campaign for Mamata Banerjee’s party.

“Under @BjpBiplab’s #DuareGundaRaj, attack on political opponents is setting new records!” tweeted Trinamul’s national general-secretary Abhishek Banerjee.

The party’s fledgling Tripura unit issued a statement condemning the BJP for the alleged attack on Trinamul MP Dev while she was launching a political programme titled Tripura’r Jonyo Trinamul (Trinamul for Tripura).

The vehicle Dev was in was allegedly vandalised in the incident. Trinamul’s Tripura unit said Dev was taken to a private hospital for treatment.
