According to the senior leader, Majumdar was scheduled to meet a BJP worker, “who was beaten up TMC men”, at hospital here following his return to the city, but the visit got cancelled.

The parliamentarian attended the Lok Sabha session earlier in the day.

He had also participated in the party's organisational meeting addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP National President J P Nadda on Monday.

Majumdar and senior party colleague Suvendu Adhikari had, on several occasions in the recent past, predicted the fall of the Mamata Banerjee government in Bengal by the end of the year, flagging the teacher job recruitment scandal, back-to-back incidents of bomb blast in villages, and cattle smuggling cases.

Adhikari, the leader of opposition in Bengal Assembly, shot off a letter to Shah three days ago, urging him to order an NIA probe into the recent blast at Bhupatinagar in Purba Medinipur district, which claimed three lives.
