West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) of conspiring to incite anarchy and political instability in the state. 

During public appearances in Baruipur, Garbeta, and Paschim Medinipur, Adhikari alleged that a new alliance between Mamata Banerjee and CPI(M) leader M. A. Baby signifies that the parties have become “brothers-in-arms.” He claimed this partnership aims to return the region to an era of political violence. 

Adhikari vowed to reopen criminal investigations into historical incidents of violence, specifically citing the 2001 massacre in Chhota Angaria and the 2007 attacks in Nandigram. He asserted that no individuals involved in those past crimes would be spared.
