Speaking to news agency ANI, Sankar said, “Today, Farakka MLA Manirul Islam vandalised the block office. How can a public representative vandalise property? Who gave him the right to do so? Are they not Indian citizens, or are they Bangladeshis who think they can vandalise a block office in India?”He said that the people are watching and shall give them the befitting reply in the 2026 West Bengal assembly elections. “The public is ready to give them a befitting reply. In the 2026 elections, whether it’s Manirul or someone else, they will get their answer from the public,” he said.Accusing the Bengal CM, BJP said, “Mamata Banerjee is instigating her party cadres across the state to riot, commit violence, and destroy property. All these actions are carried out under Mamata Banerjee’s instructions. And wherever there was corruption, misconduct, or destruction in Bengal, all of it happened under Mamata’s orders. And even today’s actions were carried out on Mamata’s instructions.”According to the written complaint filed by Block Development Officer (BDO) Junaid Ahamed, the incident occurred around 1:30 PM while a Summary Revision (SIR) hearing was underway at the office. The BDO stated that a group of unknown individuals suddenly stormed into multiple official rooms and allegedly vandalised government property in front of BLOs, the Joint BDO, the OC Election and other Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs).
