INDIA Bloc Revival In Bengal? Support For Mamata Banerjee Over Nephew's Assault
Political violence against a prominent politician is a serious concern.
Despite losing the Bengal election, Mamata Banerjee's stature within the INDIA bloc remains strong. Opposition leaders condemned the assault on her nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, by a mob in Sonarpur, South 24 Parganas. Mallikarjun Kharge, Akhilesh Yadav, and Arvind Kejriwal accused the BJP of fostering political violence, while the ruling party denied involvement and blamed the TMC for mischaracterizing public anger. The incident has led to calls for stronger law-and-order measures in West Bengal.
