Asansol (West Bengal) [India], Nov 18 (ANI): All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers allegedly attacked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters and vandalised their offices on Monday.

BJP also alleged that the party offices at Gourandi, Kantapahari, and Jaugram were vandalised today by the TMC workers.
"We carried out a rally in Ushagram on Sunday. The place was TMC dominated earlier but now people have started supporting the BJP which the TMC could not accept," said Mony Roy, Barabani Mandal president of the BJP.
"The TMC workers went to the house of local BJP leader Arun Kumar. They vandalised there and abused his wife and threatened her. Even the party members who visited his house after the incident were beaten up. A few of our party members were also injured," added Roy.
