The BJP in a statement alleged that a mob comprising of 250 "TMC goons" tried to attack Ghosh and workers accompanying him in the presence of local councilor. The statement further claimed that two workers suffered head injuries.
The incident took place when state president went for his usual morning walk and "Chai Pe Charcha" at Lake Town.
On August 22, Ghosh had claimed that TMC's 'Didi Ke Bolo' campaign is a copy of BJP's 'Chai pe Charcha' initiative.
Speaking to ANI, Ghosh had said that the TMC has copied the formula by bringing in Prashant Kishore.
"It is not a competition with TMC in fact, the TMC has copied our formula by bringing in Prashant Kishore," the BJP leader had said.
