Tensions flared in West Bengal during the Ram Navami celebrations, leading to political accusations between the BJP and TMC. The BJP accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of failing to protect Bengali Hindus and instigating violence, while Mamata Banerjee countered by blaming the BJP for the disturbances. The violence was particularly noted in Murshidabad and Medinipur districts. In response to the incidents, the BJP has demanded an NIA probe into the violence. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also criticized the TMC government, claiming that while Ram Navami processions were conducted safely in BJP-ruled states, they were attacked in West Bengal.
