Derek condemning the incident tweeted,

. @MamataOfficial "I do not have words to condemn the incident. I am myself ashamed… that, as people of Bengal, we cannot respect Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar because of these BJP goons. These leaders will be leaders of the nation ? Those who cannot respect icons ?" pic.twitter.com/CHYOTaHJD5

Other opposition parties also condemned the BJP for the vandalising the 19th century reformer's statue.

However, BJP has claimed that the Trinamool has conspired to frame the BJP by having the statue broken by their party workers.

#Mamata claims that BJP is doing it,I want to tell her,we are fighting in every state in the nation,unlike you on 42 seats in #WestBengal. Violence didn't take place in 6 phases of elections anywhere but Bengal which proves that TMC is responsible for it.#SaveBengalSaveDemocracy pic.twitter.com/xhuBani4vo
