High drama and chaos unfolded in Kolkata’s Bhowanipore on Thursday as Union Home Minister Amit Shah joined Suvendu Adhikari for his nomination filing. What was intended to be a grand roadshow turned into a violent clash when TMC supporters staged a massive protest with black flags and cloth along the route.

The situation spiraled out of control when shoes were reportedly hurled at the convoy, prompting an immediate retaliation from BJP workers. As the two groups engaged in heated sloganeering and physical scuffles, the atmosphere became highly volatile. Due to the escalating unrest and the direct targeting of the motorcade, Amit Shah was forced to step down from his vehicle under heavy security cover. The incident has sparked a massive political controversy, highlighting the intense rivalry in the prestigious Bhowanipore constituency.
