While the BJP alleged six casualties, claiming they were killed by “TMC goons”, and that multiple party offices and homes of its supporters were vandalised and set ablaze. It also alleged that its women workers and Nandigram poll winner Suvendu Adhikari’s vehicle were attacked. A day-long dharna (protest) was supposed to be held by the saffron party plans across the country today, when Mamata Banerjee took her oath as chief minister.

On its part, the TMC junked the BJP’s claims, with Banerjee saying it was “spreading lies using old pictures of riots that did not take place in Bengal”. The TMC said four of its party workers were killed. The Indian Secular Front, a Congress-Left ally, said one of its workers died in North 24 Parganas district.
