It highlights the insensitivity of the TMC as well as the absolutely pathetic law and order situation in the state."

We never want any incident. If you go to a flood-affected area with 30-40 vehicles, people would be hurt. Those who lost 'roti-kapda-makaan' need food, clothes and shelter. So, we do not want to go there to do politics. An incident has occurred...So, I asked the DGP to go there. He went there and spoke with everyone there...We do not want any more incidents. Please remain calm..." CM Mamata Banerjee said.

While I condemn the violence, Mamata Didi makes a valid point about going with 30-40 vehicles to flood-affected areas. Relief work should be about helping people, not political showmanship. Both sides need to be more responsible.

As someone from Kolkata, I'm deeply concerned about the deteriorating situation. Political violence has become too common in our state. When will our leaders understand that Bengal deserves better than this constant fighting? 🙏

The real victims here are the flood-affected people who need immediate help. Instead of political blame games, all parties should focus on relief operations. This political drama is taking attention away from the actual crisis.

TMC's goonda raj continues! They can't tolerate anyone helping people in their stronghold areas. BJP karyakartas are brave to continue relief work despite such threats. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Having visited North Bengal recently, I can say the region needs development, not political violence. Both state and central governments should work together for the people's welfare instead of this constant confrontation.
