West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee cautioned of potential riots orchestrated by the BJP during Ram Navami, citing last year's violent clashes. Alleging a strategy to secure electoral victories through rioting and vote looting, Banerjee urged for peace during celebrations. The BJP condemned her remarks, accusing her of disrespecting Indian culture. Amidst the political spat, both parties conducted Ram Navami processions across the state, with heightened police presence to ensure calm. Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Trinamool Congress of obstructing festivities, referencing a court ruling permitting processions with conditions.
