“Nobody from the TMC had hurled a bomb at Arjun Singh’s residence. Arjun is famous for bomb making and the video footages shown that the bomb was kept at the boundary wall that blew on the wall. By doing all these Arjun is trying to create sympathy,” said Partha.
According to Arjun the TMC is purposely trying to attack him.
Notably, while accompanying BJP Bhabanipur candidate Priyanka Tibrewal to file her nomination, Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari said that the TMC goons attack Arjun Singh every month.
Around 9.10 am, bombs exploded on a vacant patch of land, which is just about 200 metres away from Singh's Bhatpara residence, a police officer said| ANI

BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya took to Twitter and said that ever since Arjun was made the observer of Bhabanipur constituency the TMC out of fear is attacking Arjun Singh.
“MP Arjun Singh is BJP’s observer for the Bhabanipur by-poll. Ever since the news of his appointment made it to the public domain, his house is being targeted.Let it be known that none of this is going to help the TMC win the by-poll. Not even repeat visits to Sola Ana Masjid,” read the tweet.
Earlier on September 8, after the bombing Arjun said he can sacrifice his life for people and also that he is worried that the violence in West Bengal might take away the security of common people.
