Party offices, a martyrs' memorial and the homes of a former MLA and a former councillor were vandalised by an armed mob in Kolkata's Jadavpur on the night of 19, 20 September 2026. Former Trinamool Congress MLA Debabrata Majumdar said 100 to 150 unidentified outsiders attacked his residence, breaking windows and a CCTV camera, and beat residents who came out. The TMC and CPI(M) separately accused the BJP of being behind the attack.
BJP state president Samik Bhattacharya denied the charge and alleged the violence was the result of an internal TMC dispute. Union minister Sukanta Majumdar also said the BJP had zero tolerance for violence and would not shelter any miscreant. The Jadavpur BJP MLA claimed the attack was a fallout of a factional fight within the TMC. Police have not made any arrests yet.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same facts: TMC and CPI(M) offices, homes of former lawmakers and a martyrs' memorial were vandalised in Jadavpur on the night of 19, 20 September 2026. TMC and Left leaders directly blame BJP-backed goons, the BJP state president and a Union minister deny involvement and accuse TMC of internal infighting. One outlet adds a separate Malda attack on a BJP leader by alleged TMC workers. The coverage is straight news with no discernible editorial slant. Readers can note that both sides trade allegations and denials, and the police have not made arrests. The next step is the police investigation and potential arrests.
