Samik Bhattacharya To India Today: ‘There Is Absolute Lawlessness In West Bengal Under Mamata & TMC’

0 January 15, 2026 12:03

West Bengal BJP President and MP Samik Bhattacharya joined India Today to discuss the Supreme Court’s recent notice to the Mamata Banerjee government regarding the state of law and order. Bhattacharya asserted that there is ‘absolute lawlessness’ and a ‘total breakdown of constitutional machinery’ in West Bengal. He cited past incidents, including the manhandling of CBI officers during a raid at former DG Rajiv Kumar’s residence and attacks on ED officers in North 24 Parganas, to illustrate a pattern of state-sponsored obstruction. Referring to the Supreme Court’s observations, he emphasized that ‘offenders aren’t allowed to be protected under the shield of states’ and criticized the Kolkata Police for their allegedly biased conduct. The conversation also touched upon the Enforcement Directorate’s recent actions at the residence of I-PAC co-founder Pratik Jain, which the Trinamool Congress has labeled as politically motivated. Bhattacharya dismissed these claims, suggesting the TMC is facing a loss of face in the state.
