Political tensions escalate in West Bengal as President Droupadi Murmu's visit becomes flashpoint. The President's event venue was shifted from Bidhannagar to Goshaipur near Bagdogra airport, citing security concerns, resulting in sparse attendance. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's absence drew criticism from President Murmu, who noted protocol violations and questioned the state government's decision-making. Banerjee remained in Kolkata conducting a sit-in protest against alleged arbitrary deletions from electoral rolls ahead of assembly elections. The incident highlights growing friction between state and central authorities during a politically sensitive period, with implications for election dynamics and governance in the state.
