Shubendu Adhikari’s Bold Claims: The ‘Bhaipo Gang’ and Political Allegiances
In a recent political rally, Shubendu Adhikari, a prominent leader of the bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), made headlines by criticizing the so-called ‘Bhaipo Gang’ associated with the Trinamool Congress (TMC). Adhikari, who switched allegiance to the BJP in 2020, stated that his departure from TMC was largely due to his refusal to support this faction.He emphasized that anyone wishing to remain in TMC, like Ashok Deb, must align with the ‘Bhaipo Gang’, which he described as a group that fosters corruption and insecurity.
Adhikari’s remarks come in the wake of a disturbing incident at a Kolkata law college, were he accused the ruling government of actively protecting the perpetrators. He asserted that the ‘Bhaipo Gang’ is not only a political entity but also a threat to public safety, claiming that no one is safe from their influence. His comments reflect a growing discontent among political leaders regarding the alleged misdeeds of their rivals, and they resonate with a public increasingly concerned about corruption and safety in West Bengal. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Adhikari’s statements may serve to galvanize support for the BJP while casting a shadow over the TMC’s credibility.
