Political Clashes Between TMC and BJP Workers Escalate in West BengalPreviousNext

Clashes between Trinamool Congress (TMC) and BJP workers have escalated tensions in West Bengal. In Kolkata's Mukundapur, a procession by TMC over a disputed party office led to violent confrontations, with both sides alleging assaults and injuries. Separately, in Malda, a BJP leader and workers were reportedly attacked amid a longstanding dispute with a TMC member, sparking local protests and property damage. Both incidents reflect ongoing political rivalry, with claims and counterclaims from each party and police involvement to restore order.
