Hours after the killing of Chandranath Rath, a close aide of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, five BJP workers were injured in a bomb attack in West Bengal. The incident occurred late on Wednesday night, escalating tensions in the region.
Details of the Bomb Attack
According to police reports, the bomb attack took place in the same district where Rath was shot dead by motorcycle-borne assailants earlier that day. The injured workers were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, and their condition is reported to be stable.
Political Reactions
The BJP has condemned the attack, calling it a targeted act of violence against its workers. Party leaders have demanded a thorough investigation and enhanced security for party members. The ruling party in West Bengal has also been urged to take swift action against the perpetrators.
This series of violent incidents has raised concerns about law and order in the state, with opposition parties accusing the government of failing to protect political workers. The police have launched a manhunt for the attackers and are investigating possible links between the two incidents.
