Political violence in West Bengal resurfaces with troubling pattern. BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari's personal assistant Chandranath Rath was shot dead in North 24 Parganas district on May 6, just two days after the BJP's election victory. This marks the second killing of Adhikari's close aide in over a decade. In 2013, his former personal assistant Pradip Jha was found dead on Kolkata's S Strand Road when Adhikari served as a TMC MP. The recent incident has intensified political tensions, with the BJP accusing the TMC of lawlessness and institutional failure. Adhikari characterized the killing as a cold-blooded murder resulting from years of political instability. The pattern raises serious questions about political safety and governance in the state during volatile electoral periods.
