In the lead-up to the Lok Sabha elections, political tensions in West Bengal have escalated, marked by a series of confrontational events between the Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Trinamool Congress has called for the BJP to take responsibility for a suicide, while the BJP has issued a warning to the Trinamool, suggesting a competitive edge in the upcoming 2026 elections with a statement, "If We Get Even 1 More Seat...": Bengal BJP's 2026 Warning For Trinamool. Additionally, reports of violence have emerged, with BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari highlighting the return of bloodshed in Bengal politics with his statement, "Bloodshed Returns in Bengal Politics before Lok Sabha Elections," and alleging an attack on a party meeting by Trinamool supporters. Furthermore, Adhikari reported the murder of a young BJP worker yesterday, accusing the West Bengal police of being used as a tool by Mamata Banerjee's administration and calling for the appointment of a special observer to investigate the case.
