Just weeks before the 2026 Assembly polls, the high-stakes constituency witnessed violent clashes on Sunday in the Boyal-I Panchayat area. The tension erupted during a massive rally led by Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, leading to a direct confrontation between TMC and BJP cadres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flashpoint occurred when Suvendu\u2019s procession reached the residence of TMC candidate Pabitro Kar. BJP workers reportedly started chanting &#8220;Chor Chor&#8221; (Thief) slogans and broke into an impromptu dance right outside the candidate&#8217;s gate. In a viral clip, Suvendu Adhikari himself was seen playing a traditional &#8216;Khol&#8217; (drum) amidst the slogan-shouting. TMC supporters quickly retaliated, leading to a heated exchange and physical scuffles that forced the local police to intervene and push back the agitated crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visible irked by the chaos, Suvendu Adhikari made a controversial statement that has since gone viral. Speaking to reporters, he claimed, &#8220;I don&#8217;t need any security forces here; I alone will &#8216;garage&#8217; these people and sweep them out of Nandigram.&#8221; This &#8220;garage&#8221; remark has been interpreted by the TMC as a direct threat of violence. While the police managed to de-escalate the situation for now, the incident has left Nandigram on a knife-edge, with security being beefed up in all sensitive pockets of Block 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nandigram is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
