BJP forms committee of 4 MPs to look into post-poll violence in West Bengal

BJP President J P Nadda has established a four-member committee to investigate alleged political violence in West Bengal, targeting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her perceived silence on the matter.

The prominent committee, consisting of MPs Biplab Kumar Deb, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Brij Lal, and Kavita Patidar—with Deb serving as convener—aims to address these concerns.

Accusations have mounted against Banerjee’s government for allegedly allowing violence against opposition workers. Notably, the Calcutta High Court has responded, extending the deployment of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) until June 21 and scheduling further hearings.
