After the incident, State Minister Birbaha Hansda said, "My car windshield is broken, some pieces fell on me and I got hurt by them."

"We will take answers from each and every leader of the Kurmi tribe for what happened today," Handsa said.

"If they do not answer, then from Saturday onwards Trinamool Congress will go to each and every leader of the Kurmi community and take the answer," she said.
