"Mamata wants Suvendu killed."
BJP leader Arjun Singh called the incident a major political conspiracy. Directly targeting the Chief Minister, he said:
Even as she leaves power, Mamata Banerjee wants to spoil the atmosphere in Bengal. This is the work of sharpshooters, and I believe Mamata wants Suvendu Adhikari killed. It's been alleged that criminals cross the border to carry out such incidents. This is the work of Jihadis. It will take two years to fix Bengal; the judiciary will also have to be fixed. The border is near this area. The criminal system has progressed a lot these days. This is a huge attack. The administration has become lax after the elections. Like Yogi, action will have to be taken here too. Their motive is very big. This is the work of sharpshooters. I had said earlier also that Mamata wants Suvendu killed.
"He will not be spared, this is BJP's guarantee."
He was a very nice guy. He had also served in the Air Force and was very efficient. He handled all of Suvendu Da's work in Bhawanipur. Was that why he was targeted? This TMC is a murderous party. They will vent their anger on an unarmed person. This is the work of a professional. When the BJP government comes to power, no one will be spared. He was like a brother to me. He had been working for Suvendu Da for nearly a decade. I spoke to him just yesterday. From what I know, he was shot four times. He was leaving after completing office work. The country should know that there was a party that resorted to such actions after losing. When the investigation report comes out, everyone will know. But whoever committed this murder will not be spared—this is the BJP's guarantee.
