West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari expressed concern over the low turnout of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders at Mamata Banerjee's dharna in Kolkata, stating that only nine leaders participated in the protest against alleged post-poll violence targeting TMC workers. Adhikari characterized the TMC's current situation as 'pathetic,' comparing it to the state of Falta, where the BJP secured a decisive victory in the recent assembly elections. The TMC candidate, Jahangir Khan, who was known for his larger-than-life campaign persona, dramatically withdrew from the race shortly before polling. During his visit to the Tarakeswar temple in Hooghly district, Adhikari highlighted the temple's historical importance in Bengal's politics and mentioned plans for its future administration. He also noted that preparations for the annual ‘Shravan Mela,’ which attracts thousands of devotees, are being organized, including the appointment of an additional district magistrate to oversee temple operations.
