Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee's helicopter was delayed for a rally in Birbhum, West Bengal, due to pending DGCA clearance. Banerjee alleged a conspiracy by 'anti-Bengal forces,' implying the BJP, to disrupt his campaign. He ultimately used a helicopter provided by Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren to reach the venue. The BJP dismissed the allegations, with a Union ministry source citing technical and licensing issues with Banerjee's imported helicopter.
