A formal complaint from West Bengal’s fiery opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari has reached the Governor’s desk, zeroing in on the explosive violence in Beladanga. Writing to CV Ananda Bose, Adhikari has sought urgent measures to quell the disturbances that have paralyzed Murshidabad’s sensitive region.
The violence erupted amid heightened political rhetoric, resulting in widespread arson and beatings. BJP workers and locals report being singled out by armed groups, with police allegedly standing by. Adhikari’s detailed letter includes timelines, victim statements, and demands for central agency involvement to unearth the conspiracy.
This flare-up in Beladanga revives memories of similar post-poll skirmishes, where TMC’s dominance has been challenged by BJP’s inroads. The opposition leader warned of a potential domino effect across districts if not addressed promptly. ‘The Governor must act as the constitutional safeguard,’ he emphasized.
As the letter gains traction, political analysts predict it could catalyze a multi-agency response. Governor Bose’s response will be keenly watched, especially given his history of critiquing the state government’s handling of lawlessness. For now, Beladanga simmers, a stark reminder of West Bengal’s polarized fault lines.
