BJP vs TMC clash in Bengal

The assembly election result triggered a series of violent incidents across the state, leaving at least four people dead and multiple people injured. Various party offices were ransacked, as rival cadres from Trinamool Congress and BJP clashed in multiple districts overnight.

Two deaths were reported in Kolkata within 24 hours. In Beleghata, 45-year-old Trinamool poll agent Biswajit Pattanaik was found injured outside his home after reportedly stepping out following a phone call. Police suspect he was chased and fell while trying to escape across rooftops, while his family alleges he was dragged out and assaulted.

“They broke the door and assaulted him mercilessly. Neighbours were too scared to help,” a relative told TOI. A murder probe is underway. BJP denied any role. “He fell on a tap. It broke and washed away his blood. That’s why family did not see blood at the spot, though he was bleeding from his nose and ears,” a policeman said.

The Bharatiya Janata Party secured a landslide victory in West Bengal, ousting Mamata Banerjee’s TMC which has been at the helm since 2011. The BJP has emerged as a winner in 206 of 294 seats, steamrolling past the majority mark (148).
