The political atmosphere in West Bengal has reached a boiling point as the 2026 Assembly Elections approach. The nomination process of Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari was marred by clashes between TMC and BJP workers, leading to widespread unrest. Breaking her silence on the matter, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a scathing attack on her former protégé, reminding him of his past actions.

During a rally, a visibly agitated Mamata said, “Why are you complaining now? Did you forget the time when you spat on my posters and insulted me publicly?” She alleged that the chaos surrounding the nomination was a result of public anger against “betrayers.” Meanwhile, the BJP has accused the ruling TMC of using state machinery and police to intimidate Suvendu and prevent him from filing his papers smoothly. This fresh confrontation has set the stage for a polarized and intense electoral battle in the coming weeks.
