West Bengal's political atmosphere is charged with accusations and counter-accusations following the Sandeshkhali violence. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP of disrupting peace and failing to discipline its leaders. In response, the BJP alleges that Trinamool Congress leaders are involved in the socio-economic and sexual exploitation of Hindu women, particularly targeting those with illegal citizenship status from Bangladesh, claiming they were being 'hunted down'. The situation escalated with CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat's involvement, who was initially stopped by police but eventually reached Sandeshkhali to meet the alleged victims. The Kolkata High Court's intervention allowed her visit, highlighting the severity of the accusations against Trinamool Congress leaders.
