In West Bengal, a series of protests and violent incidents have erupted in Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas, following allegations of land grabbing, kidnapping, and systematic sexual assaults against women by TMC leaders. The situation has led to widespread unrest, with BJP MLAs, led by Suvendu Adhikari and West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar, holding protests and marches towards the SP office in Basirhat and outside the state Assembly in Kolkata. The State Budget presentation coincided with these protests. West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose described the situation as "ghastly shocking" and indicative of the worst that can happen in a civilized society. The protests have seen the involvement of women in Sandeshkhali, allegations of police inaction, and claims of political provocations. TMC leader Kunal Ghosh asserts that the situation is now under control, attributing the unrest to personal issues rather than government actions. The National Human Rights Commission and the National Women's Commission have been called upon to take action. During the protests, police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse BJP workers, who raised slogans against the West Bengal government and police. Suvendu Adhikari labeled TMC as a "rapist party" and declared that BJP would not obey Section 144.
