A 13-year-old girl tragically died in a bomb blast in the Melendi area of Kaliganj, triggering sharp attacks from the opposition on the state government. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury alleged that the Trinamool Congress does not believe in democracy but in the rule of bombs and bullets. BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar echoed similar concerns, stating that they have consistently raised alarms over Bengal’s deteriorating law and order, and accused the TMC of following a policy of “kill the opposition and rule.”
