Speaking to reporters in Kharagpur on Monday, Ghosh directly linked the recent communal unrest in Murshidabad to the Chief Minister\u2019s &#8220;provocative speeches,&#8221; accusing her of orchestrating the chaos for electoral gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dilip Ghosh\u2019s Explosive Claims:<\/strong> Campaigning as the BJP candidate from Kharagpur Sadar, Ghosh alleged that the violence in Murshidabad was a &#8220;pre-planned consequence&#8221; of the Chief Minister&#8217;s remarks on religious processions. \u201cShe sits on a constitutional chair but acts as an instigator. By attacking Ram Navami celebrations, she gave a green signal to miscreants. This riot is her &#8216;contribution&#8217; to the people of Bengal to consolidate her vote bank,\u201d Ghosh remarked, sparking a political firestorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TMC Hits Back:<\/strong> The Trinamool Congress (TMC) responded sharply, labeling Ghosh\u2019s comments as &#8220;baseless and dangerous.&#8221; TMC leadership countered that the BJP is attempting to polarize voters as they have no development agenda to showcase. They alleged that it was the BJP\u2019s &#8220;external elements&#8221; who triggered the provocation in Murshidabad, while the state administration is working tirelessly to maintain law and order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Election Context and Polarization:<\/strong> With the 2026 elections fast approaching, Murshidabad has once again become the epicenter of political maneuvering. Dilip Ghosh\u2019s aggressive stance reflects the BJP\u2019s strategy to corner the TMC on issues of law and order and minority appeasement. As the war of words escalates, the Election Commission faces the daunting task of ensuring a peaceful poll environment amidst such heavy communal rhetoric from top leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2026 West Bengal Assembly Election campaign has taken a volatile turn following senior BJP leader Dilip Ghosh\u2019s sensational allegations against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
