Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], October 6 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and National Spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi on Monday lambasted Mamata Banerjee over the alleged attack on BJP leaders Khagen Murmu and Shankar Ghosh in West Bengal, asserting that the chief minister has "crossed all limits" and "dismantled law and order" ever since they came into power.
The BJP National Spokesperson also reacted to the flood and landslide situation in North Bengal, criticising the Chief Minister for not focusing on the real issues and instead attending a Tollywood music carnival in Kolkata.
Addressing the press conference, BJP National Spokesperson said, "Ever since TMC came to power in West Bengal, violence and dismantling of law and order have become normal. The insensitivity of the West Bengal Government and CM Mamata Banerjee has crossed limits. Most of North Bengal is reeling under floods. On the other hand, there are videos of the West Bengal CM dancing at a carnival in Kolkata. Both these images are heart-wrenching... The murderous attack on our leaders is dangerous and unfortunate."
Trivedi asserted that the dastardly incident that happened today, if it is said that this is the swan song of democracy, it should not be inappropriate."
"The dastardly incident which has happened in West Bengal today, if it is said that this is the swan song of democracy, it should not be inappropriate," Trivedi said.

Amit Malviya, BJP Co-incharge West Bengal, slammed Banerjee over the alleged assault, calling it "TMC's jungle raj".
Sharing the video of the alleged attack, Amit Malviya wrote on X, "TMC's Jungle Raj in Bengal! BJP MP Khagen Murmu, a respected tribal leader and two-time MP from North Malda, was attacked by TMC goons while on his way to Nagrakata in Jalpaiguri's Dooars region to help with relief and rescue efforts after devastating rains, floods, and landslides."
Meanwhile, Sambit Patra also slammed the Mamata governmet over the attack on BJP leaders, calling it an instance of "jungle raj" in West Bengal.
The BJP National Spokesperson alleged that TMC leaders incited party workers to assault Murmu and local MLA Shankar Ghosh during their visit for flood relief, resulting in head injuries for Murmu. (ANI)
