Following reports of post-poll violence in West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday issued a statement, alleging the Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers are impersonating BJP workers to “mislead people" and “create disorder".

The results of the West Bengal Assembly Election were announced on Monday. What followed were reports and visuals of violent clashes in the state. On Tuesday, the TMC alleged that “BJP cadres hacked to death one of its workers in Birbhum’s Nanoor".

TMC offices in mutliple regions, incluing Tollygunge, and Kasba in Kolkata, and in places like Baruipur, Kamarhati, Baranagar, Howrah, and Bahrampur, were vandalised by mobs since Monday, according to a report by news agency PTI.

“It has come to our notice that elements of the Trinamool’s so-called ‘Gunda-Vahini are attempting to impersonate BJP workers to mislead people and create disorder", the statement read.

The BJP warned of strict legal consequences “if anyone found impersonating, intimidating, or taking the law into their hands."

“Let it be stated unequivocally: the BJP will not tolerate such deception. Anyone found engaging in impersonation, intimidation, or taking the law into their own hands will face strict legal consequences. The full force of the law will be brought to bear against these criminal elements", it said.

The BJP affirmed commitment to restoring law and order, highlighting the “people of Bengal have given a decisive mandate for change".

“The people of Bengal have given a decisive mandate for change. The era where criminality and governance went hand in hand is over. The incoming government is committed to restoring rule of law, ensuring accountability, and protecting every citizen without fear or favour", the statement added.

The BJP marked a historic victory, bagging 206 seats in the 294-member Assembly and the TMC finishing a distant second with 80 seats.
