Suvendu Adhikari’s PA (Personal Assistant), Chandra, has been shot dead in post-poll violence in West Bengal. According to reports, Chandra was targeted from point-blank range. Unknown assailants fired three shots aiming at Chandra, that hit his head, chest, and leg.
This came after Suvendu Adhikari, earlier in the day, made a statement on the post-poll violence in West Bengal, saying, "Tell me where all it is happening, tell me the number of area, the Police Station area, Assembly, district - the outgoing LoP is ready to answer all questions... 100 FIRs have not been lodged. DGP told me 50-60 complaints were received, they were small complaints... In 2021, BJP had built 355 safehouses. 1,10,000 people were forced to leave their houses. The then Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar went to Assam with a chopper."
Adding further, he said, "In Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, the then CM Sarbananda Sonowal provided food and shelter to people. 61 FIRs were lodged by CBI, they were about rape and attempt to rape. 12,500 FIRs were there... There has not been much violence. I am not defending any violence, I am not supporting any violence. But don't compare with TMC. BJP doesn't need to do this. It got 46 per cent votes, in the coming elections it will rise up to 60 per cent votes."
