Bengal Government and State Poll Panel Fail to Prevent Violence; Central Forces Blamed

The Trinamool Congress in West Bengal has blamed central forces for the violence that occurred during the recent elections to the panchayat system, despite the state government and state election commission being against their deployment. The central forces were not properly deployed, lacked logistical support, and were kept away from trouble spots. The blame for the violence lies with the state government and the election commission, not the central forces. The Trinamool's act of blaming the central forces is seen as a sinister attempt to undermine their authority and bolster Bengali sub-nationalism.
