Violence has erupted in West Bengal after the election results were declared, killing several people. After the election results, vandalism and arson took place in many places and many people were killed and many others were injured.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is staging a sit-in protest against Mamata Banerjee over the violence in Bengal. In the midst of all this, BJP leader Shubhendu Adhikari, who defeated state Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the Nandigram assembly seat, said the situation in the state was very bad.

The state of affairs is very bad and the situation is as it was at the time of partition, the official said. He further said that such violence was widespread when Mamata's party won 60 seats for the first time.

The situation is very serious. I've been in politics for a long time. Such an atmosphere was created in 2001 when CPI (M) was making an exit. At that time Mamata Banerjee got 60 seats.
