Kolkata, Jan. 7 -- Trinamool Congress Party (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh on Tuesday hit out at the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that the party is fearful of TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee, who is touring across West Bengal while holding meetings ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections.

"The BJP is scared of Abhishek Banerjee, who is touring all over Bengal and holding meetings. That's why there are allegations of a conspiracy to disrupt his tour... The way Abhishek Banerjee has started touring all of Bengal under Didi's (Mamata Banerjee's) leadership, the BJP is scared, and we like this fear," he said.

Earlier, on Saturday, Banerjee targeted the BJP, saying that the party is like a "snake" that will bite if allowed to stay.
