In a pressing call to action, BJP’s Dilip Ghosh highlighted the dire security scenario in West Bengal ahead of assembly polls. From Newtown on February 28, he warned that bypassing central force deployment amid Sandeshkhali unrest would render peaceful elections a herculean task for poll authorities.
‘Villagers unanimously seek central paramilitary presence,’ he conveyed. Absent this, ballot exercise and tallying stand vulnerable. Central forces’ induction is a proven electoral stabilizer.
Deployment alone falls short, per Ghosh. ‘They require stringent, Commission-led mobility controls,’ he specified.
Regarding TMC candidacies, Ghosh noted their discretion, yet foresaw accolades for loyalists such as Rajeev Kumar, instrumental in Mamata’s administrative steadiness during storms.
The Parivartan Yatra encounters state resistance on permissions, not unprecedented. Court nods will propel it ahead, Ghosh assured.
Announced prior, the yatra boasts elite BJP participation. Ghosh exposed plots to unnerve Bengal through child abductions and explosive threats, undermining democratic processes. State accountability for security is paramount.
Echoing this, Minister Shantanu Thakur observed TMC’s deep-seated Sandeshkhali phobia afflicting all echelons, fueling their alarmed discourses.
