In West Bengal, the Leader of the Opposition and BJP member Suvendu Adhikari has initiated a strong campaign against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The BJP organized a significant protest in response to alleged interference by the state government during ED raids. Adhikari criticized the Mamata government sharply, labeling the demonstration as the 'voice of the people.'
Direct Accusations Against Mamata Banerjee

Allegations of Law Violation
He accused Mamata Banerjee of obstructing the work of central investigative agencies, claiming she has violated the law and disrespected the Constitution. During the protest, chants of 'Remove Mamata, Save Bengal' and 'Bring BJP, Save Bengal' echoed through the crowd.
Threats to Personal Safety
Referring to recent attacks, Suvendu Adhikari expressed concerns for his safety, alleging that Mamata Banerjee's police and her 'goons' are attempting to take his life. Despite these threats, he reaffirmed his commitment to his cause.
Determined to Overcome Challenges
Adhikari stated, 'I am on the right path, which is why I am facing attacks. We drove out the British, removed the Left Front, and now we will also oust Mamata Banerjee from power.'
