West Bengal politics has intensified on multiple fronts, with protests, political violence, and central agency action dominating the headlines. Speaking to NDTV, Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh defended the police encounter of the accused in the Baruipur rape and murder case, justified repeated egg-throwing incidents targeting TMC leaders as an expression of public anger, and accused the Trinamool Congress of years of political violence and corruption. He also rejected allegations that the BJP government was pursuing politics of revenge.
