The strong reaction came after Shakeel Ahmed suggested that the alliance with RJD damaged Congress politically. He claimed Congress suffered because of its partnership in Bihar.

RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari rejected the claim. He said Congress wins seats only because of RJD’s voter base. According to him, Congress lacks ground strength in Bihar and depends heavily on RJD support.

Tiwari added that Congress should focus on building its organization instead of making public accusations. He stressed that internal criticism weakens opposition unity and helps political rivals.

The exchange highlights growing discomfort within the opposition alliance after the election defeat. Leaders from both sides now face pressure to review their strategies and coordination.

Political observers say such statements could deepen cracks in the Mahagathbandhan if not addressed soon. With future elections in mind, maintaining unity may prove challenging if blame games continue.

State BJP president Samik Bhattacharya said fundamentalist forces were driving the violence in Bangladesh. He claimed Hindus were being selectively targeted during recent clashes. He urged people to act responsibly to ensure West Bengal never follows that path.

Bhattacharya said radicalism threatens not only Bangladesh but the entire world. He added that extremist forces have expanded their influence since the 1980s. He warned that even liberal voices now face attacks.

The remarks followed the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, a leader of the radical Inquilab Mancha. He died in Singapore after being shot outside a Dhaka mosque earlier this month.

BJP leaders, including Amit Malviya, compared the Bangladesh situation with West Bengal. Malviya said appeasement and weakened institutions lead societies toward collapse.

Trinamool leader Kunal Ghosh reacted sharply to the posts. He called the comparison dangerous and insulting to West Bengal. He demanded legal action against Malviya.

Ghosh said the situation in Bangladesh remains serious and international. He added that the party supports the Government of India’s official position.
