After the attack on TMC leader Sushant Ghosh in West Bengal, the Bengal police have been targeted by party leaders. After the attack on the senior leader, MP Saugata Roy attacked the police and said that despite Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s orders, the police did not provide security to Sushant Ghosh. Referring to the Kasba shooting case in Kolkata, he also criticized the police. Roy said that after this incident people lost trust in the police.
Raising the issue of arms smuggling in Bengal, the TMC MP said CM Mamata Banerjee had given clear instructions to the police to stop it, but the police did not take any action in this regard. He said smuggling is taking place openly in Bengal from Bihar and other states. On the news of infiltration in Gulshan colony, Roy said that he has no information about it nor has he heard anything about it.
This is your personal opinion.
Responding to Saugata Roy’s allegations, TMC general secretary Jayaprakash Majumdar said his words are a personal opinion. Majumdar said the Bengal police are doing a good job. He praised the police citing the RGKar case. In the case of arms smuggling, Majumdar said the police cannot keep an eye on every person, but the police took action and arrested 40 people.
TMC will leave power in 2026
Mocking the rhetoric of TMC leaders, BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul said that Saugata Roy and Firhad Hakim have understood that the command of TMC now passes from Mamata Banerjee to Abhishek Banerjee. That’s why they make such statements. He asked why he suddenly started seeing Bangladeshis in Bengal. Declaring victory in the 2026 assembly elections, the BJP MLA said that TMC will be out of power in these elections.
