A political slugfest has erupted in West Bengal between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) over the Ram Navami festival which will be celebrated on Wednesday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday accused the TMC of attempting to disrupt the festivities using "conspiracies." In response, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP of meddling in state officials' transfers and cautioned that the saffron party would bear responsibility for any potential riots.
