All Quiet on the 'West Bengal' Front: The Congress's Dilemma over Panchayat Poll Violence

News 18  

Silence can be powerful. But in case of the West Bengal panchayat poll violence, it is reflecting the dilemma within the Congress. While the fight over the poll violence is largely between the Trinamool Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party, the Congress, too, claimed their party workers have been assaulted in state Congress president and leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s territory, Murshidabad. ALL FOR OPPOSITION UNITY The TMC and Congress have an understanding that someone like Chowdhury has to attack Banerjee to stay politically relevant in Murshidabad, where both the parties are jostling for the same space. It is aware that a frontal attack on Banerjee’s government for the poll violence could cast a shadow on the attempts for opposition unity.
