Suvendu Adhikari, a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal, addressed concerns regarding post-poll violence in the state, suggesting that the allegations made by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) are overstated. He stated that the Director General of Police (DGP) reported only 50-60 small complaints, contradicting claims of widespread violence. Adhikari highlighted that in 2021, the BJP had set up 355 safehouses for individuals displaced by violence, asserting that 1,10,000 people were forced to leave their homes. He also mentioned that 61 FIRs were lodged by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) related to serious offenses, including rape. Adhikari concluded by stating that the BJP secured 46% of the votes in the last election and is confident of increasing that number to 60% in the upcoming elections, asserting that the party does not need to compare itself with the TMC.
