West Bengal TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee has cautioned law enforcement officials, alleging they are maintaining lists of names to favor Suvendu Adhikari.
West Bengal politics witnessed a new flare-up as Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee issued a stern warning to the state's police force. Banerjee alleged that certain law enforcement officers are attempting to curry favor with Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the All India Trinamool Congress (Aitc) faction.
In a pointed remark, Banerjee claimed that some cops are 'keeping a list of names,' implying a systematic effort to target or manage individuals based on political loyalty to Adhikari. This accusation suggests an internal rift within the ruling party, with Banerjee positioning himself as a check against perceived bias in the administration.
The comments highlight the intensifying power struggle within West Bengal's political landscape. By directly addressing the police, Banerjee has escalated the rhetoric, framing the issue not just as a party dispute but as a matter of institutional integrity and impartiality in law enforcement.
