West Bengal’s political landscape appears to be witnessing intense turbulence as reports and allegations of rising clashes, internal party disputes, and ground-level unrest continue to surface. According to emerging claims, former TMC leader Shyamal Mitra was allegedly involved in a confrontation linked to “cut money” accusations in Howrah, raising serious questions and triggering a police inquiry. Authorities have confirmed that medical attention was provided and an investigation is underway to verify the circumstances surrounding the incident. In another development, student groups across multiple colleges reportedly entered and damaged union rooms allegedly associated with political control and influence. These incidents have added fuel to already rising tensions on the ground, reflecting growing frustration and agitation in certain educational institutions.

Mamata Banerjee has refused to resign following the BJP’s decisive electoral victory, alleging that the verdict was shaped by a “conspiracy.” Despite the Bharatiya Janata Party securing 206 seats and ending the 15-year rule of the Trinamool Congress, Banerjee maintained that her party had achieved a “moral victory.” She asserted that she would have stepped down if the defeat was genuine, but claimed the outcome was influenced by forceful interference. Banerjee also launched a sharp attack on the Election Commission of India, accusing it of bias and alleging that the electoral process was manipulated in favor of the BJP. The TMC has claimed that the mandate was “looted” in nearly 100 constituencies, citing irregularities and delays during counting. WATCH
