It highlights how the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have been clashing, leading to numerous violent incidents, especially during elections. The piece points out that this polarization is not just limited to political parties but has permeated society, causing rifts among communities. It also mentions the historical context of political violence in the state and how recent events, like the 2021 assembly elections, have intensified the situation.
