Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s remarks about the BJP's role in the 12-hour shutdown. Banerjee accused the BJP of fueling unrest over the violence during the bandh, which was marked by sporadic incidents. Sarma responded on X, stating, “Didi, how dare you threaten Assam? Don’t try to set India on fire with your politics of failure.” The shutdown led to significant disruptions and violence, including a clash in Bhatpara and blocked railway tracks, impacting public transport and businesses across West Bengal.
