Mamata Banerjee to Lead Kolkata Protest Amidst Rising Political Tensions

TMC chief Mamata Banerjee plans to lead a protest in Kolkata against alleged post-poll violence targeted at party leaders. The protest follows attacks on TMC leaders, with BJP criticising the demonstration's intent. Mamata denounced the violence as authoritarian, vowing to strengthen her party amid ongoing political tensions.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mamata Banerjee is poised to lead a protest in Kolkata over alleged post-election violence against her party leaders. The demonstration is set for Tuesday at Rani Rashmoni Road, following attacks on TMC figures such as Abhishek and Kalyan Banerjee.

Reacting to the planned event, BJP leader Rahul Sinha questioned its legality, attributing the decision for permissions to the police. He further accused TMC's Abhishek Banerjee of orchestrating the incident to disparage the BJP and bolster his security demands, claiming the true situation has now been revealed.

In the wake of the violence, Mamata Banerjee has expressed outrage over what she described as absurd and authoritarian actions against her party members. She vowed to strengthen TMC, warning that if denied the right to protest in Kolkata, the party would extend its demonstrations to New Delhi.
