Political Showdown in Sandeshkhali: BJP vs. TMC

Suvendu Adhikari, a senior BJP leader, held a rally in Sandeshkhali accusing West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's government of falsely charging women protesting against TMC's alleged misconduct. Adhikari vowed an inquiry if BJP wins the 2026 assembly polls, highlighting issues like land-grabbing and unemployment.

In the latest political escalation in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari held a rally, accusing the Mamata Banerjee-led government of framing false charges against women protesting local TMC wrongdoings. His statements followed a visit by the Chief Minister to the region.

Addressing residents in the Sundarbans area, Adhikari labelled Chief Minister Banerjee as one with 'mischievous intent' and pledged to set up an inquiry commission into purported TMC atrocities if BJP comes to power in 2026. This comes after widespread protests over alleged land-grabbing and sexual harassment by TMC leaders.

In a bid to sway the voters, Adhikari spotlighted BJP's gains in previous elections and criticized TMC for electoral malpractices, unemployment, and misuse of central schemes. With deepening political rifts, Sandeshkhali finds itself in the eye of a storm leading up to future assembly elections.
