p","copyrightYear":"2026","articleSection":"India","articleBody":"\r\n NEW DELHI: The Congress and TMC on Friday mounted a joint attack on the ruling BJP following the arrest of Milan Pradhan, the Congress candidate for the upcoming Nandigram bypoll in West Bengal.Both parties pointed to two key factors surrounding Pradhan\u2019s arrest: that it stemmed from an old case, and that it occurred just hours after Mamata Banerjee announced her TMC faction\u2019s support for the Congress in the October 6 byelection.Mamata Banerjee slammed the arrest as the BJP's \"usual formula,\" questioning the sudden revival of an old case right after she pledged support to the Congress.\"The timing raises serious questions and is the usual BJP formula: dig out an old case. But why now? Just after we announced support to the Congress! The BJP\u2019s politics of vendetta and atrocities show a clear pattern. With manipulation, with vote loot, with intimidation the Election Agency-BJP partnership is killing democracy every day,\" the former West Bengal chief minister wrote on X.Mamata Banerjee X postCongress general secretary KC Venugopal asserted that the party would not be cowed by such \"petty intimidation tactics.\"\"Using a dormant 19-year old case from 2007 to arrest our candidate - minutes after Mamata Banerjee ji extended support - is a sign that BJP will go to any lengths to hijack democracy. We are the party that fought the oppressive British rule and drove them away, these petty intimidation tactics by their cheap copycats are not going to scare us,\" Venugopal said.Share your thoughts
