The Centre on Sunday had also expressed concern over the "unabated violence" in Bengal. Several party workers from both the BJP and TMC have been allegedly murdered over flaring political tensions

In a tweet, the Bengal BJP blamed Mamata Banerjee last night, "She is getting desperate with each passing moment as she loses peoples' support. In her bid to retain power at any cost, killing opposition party members is the new normal in Bengal."

Barely a week ago, more than 50 councillors predominantly from the Trinamool Congress joined the BJP in Delhi. TMC immediately turned into a public spectacle

The violence apparently broke out over hoisting the BJP party flag. Bullets were fired and sharp weapons were used in this small town of Sandeshkhali, which is around 65 km from Kolkata.

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has announced that she will not be attending the Niti Aayog meeting in the capital. Two more youths in Kerala were admitted to the isolation ward for suspected Nipah virus. For all the top stories of the day, watch MyNation in 100 seconds.
 

 BJP national secretary Rahul Sinha stated, “This order shows how bad the law and order situation in Bengal is and how the government has failed to do its duty"

 

Prashant Kishor was signed by the Mamata Banerjee-led Bengal government today for an image makeover. Durga Vahini and Singha Vahini on the other hand, all women rightist organisations whose primary function is to provide aide in those areas where the VHP cannot reach, was seen practicing

Mamata reasoned that she wanted an "Inter-State council, a constitutional entity created under Article 263 of the constitution" rather than the Niti Aayog as a replacement of the Planning Commission

Mamata Banerjee's image took a hit recently after the BJP went all out to portray her as anti-Hindu in order to consolidate the Hindu votes. It worked for the BJP where the saffron party managed to get 18 out of 42 Lok Sabha seats from the state. Now, Prashant Kishor is likely to turnaround Mamata's image

On Tuesday, the body of a person was recovered in the morning in Amalsol area of ​​Jaipur Police station in Bankura district. The body has been identified to be that of Sayedul Islam Midda (32), a resident of Chorkala village

Few BJP supporters have been injured in the incident and two have sustained major injury and have been admitted to the Purulia Sadar Hospital

"Our slogans in Bengal would be 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Jai Maha Kali'. Bengal is the land of Maha Kali. We need goddess Kali's blessings," Vijayvargiya, the BJP's West Bengal affairs in-charge, told reporters

Jitendra Tiwari who is not new to controversies said, "Look if anyone takes Ram's name with bhakti, we don't have any problem. But if someone drinks alcohol and then chants Ram's name, we won't tolerate that"

In a video that has gone viral, the Trinamool chief is seen drawing twin flowers in grass — her party symbol on a closed door of a political party office

On Friday, the police arrested at least 10 young men for chanting Jai Shi Ram, as the BJP claims. Interestingly, the officer in charge of the local police station was replaced
