Analysed 18 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·West Bengal, India·Politics
West Bengal BJP Government Targets Crime, Illegal Foreigners, and Corruption: GovernorPreviousNext

West Bengal's new BJP government, as outlined by Governor R N Ravi, has initiated a crackdown on anti-social elements and illegal foreigners, aiming to end corruption syndicates and a 'threat culture' allegedly fostered by the previous regime. The administration prioritizes law and order, border security, and industrial development, including providing land to the BSF for border infrastructure. It also commits to zero tolerance for crimes against women and the marginalized, and to curbing illegal mining and extortion networks.
