Meanwhile, BJP called deaths of party workers 'political murders'

The BJP trained guns at TMC after Kumar's death and slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for law and order failure.
The saffron party alleged the killings were done at the behest of ruling TMC and were political murders.
The West Bengal police handed over the case to Crime Investigation Department (CID). TMC leader Derek O'Brien had asked for all angles to be probed.

Violence in West Bengal is troublesome

In the recently held panchayat polls in West Bengal, democracy was put to shame when voters were intimidated, ballot boxes were stolen and polling booths vandalized.
Soon after the death of Trilochan Mahto, on whose body it was written that he has been punished for doing 'BJP politics', things have worsened.
The question is: will Mamata Banerjee take responsibility for the violence?
