Many individuals have been slain in political violence in the previous 10 days. If the Mamata administration had learnt anything from the awful violence that preceded the assembly elections, maybe the tragic occurrence in Birbhum might have been avoided.

This party's MPs met with Home Minister Amit Shah, who addressed Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, in which he requested expulsion of the Trinamool Congress, which has been attacked by the opposition owing to the horrendous violence in Birbhum district of Bengal. He should have focused on Bengal's problems instead of the Governor, doesn't he think? It was not the first time that the governor's removal was sought.
As soon as the Governor mentions the dismal state of law and order in Bengal, Trinamool Congress leaders lash out at him for doing so. Even Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, has lied to him on several occasions. Even in front of the public, she has shamed him. In addition, she sometimes brings up the federal government's structure.
People around the country were startled by the assassination of a Trinamool Congress politician in Birbhum and the subsequent burning to death of others who were deemed opponents of the same party, but Mamata Banerjee's first response was that similar crimes are occurring in other areas. This also occurs to me from time to time. In addition, he said that the Birbhum event looks to be the result of a plan to tarnish the government of Bengal.
If anything, Mamata's government's stance reveals that law and order is not a priority. It's for this reason that Bengal is one of the states whose law and order problems have reached a national level of concern. The political patronage granted to those engaged in violence and criminal activities is a big factor in this. Therefore, the Bengal Police either seem helpless or keep dumb in the face of individuals who attempt to undermine law and order. After the assembly elections, there was a lot of violence. Actually, in Bengal, the cycle of political violence never ceases. In Bengal, election-related violence has become a cultural norm. The Trinamool Congress faction hostility that erupted during the municipal elections is being blamed for this violence.
