Nandigram: In a dramatic turn of events, villagers in Nandigram raised slogans of “Go back TMC” after a member of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) reached the village today. The incident comes amid heightened tensions following the death of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker in a violent attack.
In response to the escalating situation, heavy security has been deployed in Nandigram, Purba Medinipur. The increased presence of law enforcement is aimed at preventing further violence and maintaining order as local BJP workers continue their protests.
The protests erupted after a BJP worker died during an attack by unidentified miscreants on several houses last night. Local BJP workers have alleged that TMC workers were behind the attack, accusing them of orchestrating the violence that led to the fatality.
The visit by a TMC member to the village was met with strong resistance from the locals, who chanted slogans demanding the party’s exit from the area. The villagers’ outcry reflects the deep-seated tensions and the volatile political climate in Nandigram, a region with a history of political clashes.
