Odisha BJP president Manmohan Samal refuted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's claims of violence against Bengali-speaking people in BJP-ruled states. Samal stated there is no basis for the allegations and urged against politicizing the recent killing of a migrant worker from West Bengal in Sambalpur, Odisha. He emphasized focusing on justice and future prevention. West Bengal police have reached Sambalpur to discuss the case with local authorities, who reported swift arrests of all accused individuals.
