Why I am filled with dread in Bengal today. By a broken statue. A riot in the street. Packs of local criminals turned netajis. Will my freedom as a woman in West Bengal soon die?
The EC needs to explain why it started the ban on campaign time a day after the violence seen, and why, it couldn't manage the situation for longer if it could manage for today.
Bengal has always been known for terrible political violence. However, recently this has taken a horrific new form. The growing challenge to the TMC posed by the BJP is clearly unnerving many.
