The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is working hard to get power in West Bengal has accused Banerjee of creating drama for sympathy.
“Even our workers have sustained injuries. They underwent treatment and then returned to give a befitting reply. They did not stage any drama. But she does not have the strength to give a befitting reply anymore and hence only staging a drama. This is her old habit. She has done PhD in drama,” said BJP leader Dilip Ghosh.
