In West Bengal, incidents of arson and vandalism occurred at Trinamool Congress (TMC) offices as BJP workers celebrated their significant win in the state elections. Vandalized TMC offices were reported in several locations including Kolkata's Tollygunge and Kasba.
The Election Commission has promised strict action against those responsible for the violence and is awaiting detailed reports from local law enforcement. Despite the accusations, BJP leader Rahul Sinha dismissed claims of his party's involvement, attributing it instead to internal conflicts within the TMC.
