The mother of a slain aide of senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari has claimed that the murder was an act of revenge for Mamata Banerjee's defeat in the Bhabanipur constituency during the recent West Bengal Assembly elections. Speaking to television channels, she expressed her anguish and called for strict punishment for those responsible.
Mother's Statement on the Killing
In an emotional interview, the grieving mother stated, 'As a mother, I cannot seek death for anyone. But I will demand life imprisonment for the culprits.' She asserted that her son was killed because of his association with Suvendu Adhikari, who defeated Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur. The incident has further intensified political tensions in the state.
Political Repercussions
The murder has sparked outrage among BJP supporters, who accuse the ruling Trinamool Congress of orchestrating political violence. Suvendu Adhikari, a former Trinamool leader who switched to the BJP, has condemned the killing and called for a thorough investigation. Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress has denied any involvement and urged the opposition to refrain from making baseless allegations.
The West Bengal government has assured that the perpetrators will be brought to justice, but the opposition remains skeptical. The case is now under the scrutiny of the state police, with demands for a CBI probe growing louder. The slain aide's family continues to seek justice, hoping that the legal system will deliver a fitting punishment for the crime.
