A month after the results of the West Bengal elections were declared in which the Trinamool Congress won, the violence against those who supported the Bhartia Janata Party (BJP) has only increased and one of the few persons who has been raising the voice against this violence is Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar.
On Sunday June 6, Dhankhar slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the ‘rampant post-poll violence’ in the state and directed the Chief Secretary to brief him about the law and order situation on Monday (June7).
Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, Dhankhar wrote, “Extremely alarming law & order scenario Mamata Banerjee. Security environment is seriously compromised. In such a grim situation called upon Chief Secretary to brief me on the law and order situation on Monday 7th June and indicate all steps taken to contain post poll violence.”

The West Bengal Governor said that the TMC is in the warpath of retributive violence post the election that has graduated to social boycott and denial of benefits. He said that people are made to suffer as they are being extorted for living in their own house or run their own business.
There is rampant post poll retributive violence @MamataOfficial
Disturbing that this ostracisation has graduated to social boycott & denial of benefits they are otherwise entitled. They are made to suffer “extortion fee” for living in their own house or run their own business.
