The recent shooting of Chandranath Rath, personal assistant to BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, has ignited a political crisis in West Bengal, occurring just 48 hours after the state assembly election results. Rath was shot in the Doharia area of Madhyamgram, North 24 Parganas district, near Kolkata, while traveling in a car. BJP leaders allege it was a targeted attack, claiming the assailants followed Rath's vehicle before opening fire. They have accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) of being behind the incident. In response, TMC leaders condemned the murder and demanded immediate action, including a court-monitored investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The shooting has raised concerns over post-poll violence, with TMC also reporting the deaths of three of its workers in related incidents. Rath was a key figure in Adhikari's campaign, which saw him defeat Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the Bhabanipur constituency. The incident has heightened tensions between the two parties, with calls for accountability and justice intensifying.
