West Bengal BJP Government Faces Controversies and Internal Challenges Four Months In
Four months into the Suvendu Adhikari-led BJP government in West Bengal, the administration faces controversies from opposition groups and internal challenges. A recent conflict at Jadavpur University between the ABVP and Left student bodies led BJP MLA Sharbari Mukherjee to propose renaming the university after Sri Aurobindo. Meanwhile, alleged BJP supporters sparked controversy by painting a Kolkata newspaper office saffron, which BJP leaders distanced themselves from, emphasizing their focus on development over symbolic acts.
