Tensions high in West Bengal after BJP aide shot dead and hundreds arrested
Following the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s claimed victory in West Bengal’s legislative elections—ending 15 years of Trinamool Congress (TMC) rule—widespread post-poll violence erupted across the state, including the fatal shooting of senior BJP aide Chandranath Rath in Kolkata, leading to over 400 arrests and reciprocal allegations between the parties. TMC leader Mamata Banerjee has refused to resign, citing election irregularities and planning to challenge results in India’s Supreme Court, while the state governor dissolved her government, sparking a potential constitutional crisis as the BJP prepares to swear in a new administration by Saturday.
