Adhikari Urges EC Not to Club 2026 Bengal Polls With Other States; Slams TMC for Violence
The Business Guardian
|May 31, 2025
Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Friday urged the Election Commission not to club the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections with other states, alleging a "climate of terror" created by the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).
Addressing a press conference here, the Leader of Opposition accused TMC-backed miscreants of attacking BJP workers and supporters while they were on their way to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Alipurduar on Thursday.
Trinamool-backed goons vandalized 34 vehicles and injured 22 BJP workers to prevent them from reaching the PM's rally, he claimed.
"The language used by Trinamool leaders against the PM is threatening and undemocratic. Under such circumstances, free and fair elections are not possible in West Bengal," Adhikari claimed, urging the EC to avoid clubbing the state's polls with those in Assam, Bihar, or Kerala. West Bengal is scheduled to go to the polls in 2026.
