Post-Election Turmoil in West Bengal: Adhikari Urges Governor’s Intervention

BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has called on West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose to visit violence-affected areas in the state following post-poll clashes reportedly instigated by Trinamool Congress party workers. Adhikari criticized the ruling party for attacking BJP workers and demanded immediate action to prevent further harm.

In a fervent appeal, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has implored West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose to personally inspect regions tormented by post-poll violence. Adhikari, the Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, accused Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers of attacking BJP supporters following the 2024 general election results.

Adhikari highlighted the rampant attacks on BJP karyakartas, claiming that around 10,000 individuals have been displaced and reside in safe houses organized by the BJP. He urged the governor to ensure that the violence seen after the 2021 assembly elections is not repeated.

In response, Trinamool Congress leader Santanu Sen insisted BJP respect the public mandate, stating that their conspiracy in Sandeshkhali was exposed. Despite the stationing of Central Armed Paramilitary Forces (CAPF), Adhikari argued they were not effectively used to control the situation.
