West Bengal’s opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari has unleashed a scathing critique of the Trinamool Congress, claiming the ruling party is resorting to vandalism against BJP assets out of sheer dread over impending defeats in upcoming elections. The allegations surfaced on Friday amid reports of targeted destruction in multiple assembly areas.
Taking to X, Adhikari posted compelling footage from Beleghata East in South Kolkata, where unidentified persons were seen scrubbing off BJP graffiti from public walls. He specifically named booths 156 and 157 in Ward 122, accusing TMC activists of orchestrating the erasure to suppress BJP’s visibility.
‘Such shameful efforts to muzzle the opposition voice are unacceptable in democracy,’ Adhikari fumed, calling out CM Mamata Banerjee for fostering an environment of political thuggery. He reiterated that no amount of physical tampering can diminish the ideological appeal of BJP among Bengal’s masses, whose backing he deems unshakeable.
Adhikari promised a voter-led reckoning, where the ballot would punish these undemocratic maneuvers. He recalled a similar incident on February 11 in Bhowanipore—Banerjee’s stronghold—where BJP flags faced destruction by fire and shredding. ‘Terror politics won’t last long in Bengal,’ he proclaimed.
This pattern of attacks, Adhikari argues, reveals TMC’s vulnerability and desperation. As BJP ramps up its grassroots mobilization, these clashes signal a high-stakes battle for Bengal’s political future. Observers note that Adhikari’s vocal exposés are galvanizing BJP supporters while putting TMC on the defensive, potentially shaping narratives ahead of key electoral showdowns.
