BJP leader Dilip Ghosh criticized the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal for the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. Ghosh expressed concern over the increasing criminal activities spreading across Bengal, highlighting the open recovery of firearms and bombs in Kolkata and regular clashes between mafias and syndicates.
He accused the police of failing to take decisive action despite the rise in organized crime, emphasizing their inactivity in managing the situation. Ghosh’s comments come amidst significant administrative and legislative developments in the state, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee scheduled to meet the Chief Election Commissioner in New Delhi.
Banerjee’s visit is primarily focused on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in West Bengal, which has faced opposition from the Trinamool Congress. Additionally, she plans to engage with leaders of opposition parties to build a consensus against the revision exercise, aiming for broader political coordination on federalism and electoral processes.
The timing of Banerjee’s visit aligns with the presence of major opposition party leaders in New Delhi for the Budget Session of Parliament, facilitating discussions on key issues. While the exact date of her return to Kolkata remains uncertain, Trinamool Congress leaders anticipate her presence before the “vote on account” presentation in the West Bengal Assembly.
The upcoming budget session of the state Assembly holds significance, with discussions expected on condemning the role of central investigation agencies like the CBI and ED in West Bengal. Moreover, motions criticizing the conduct of the Special Intensive Revision are likely to be moved by the treasury bench.
