Emanuel Lepcha, a BJP candidate from Bhalukhop Gram Panchayat in Kalimpong, West Bengal, and her family were violently attacked by BGPM goons. Darjeeling MP Raju Bista voiced his distress over this incident and blamed the ruling party for spreading fear through politics.

The daughter is severely hurt and scared. This horrifying incident has left the family traumatized and alarmed the local community.

Raju Bista, while speaking out against the incident, criticized the West Bengal State Election Commission, the District Administration, and the West Bengal Police for allegedly functioning as frontline cadres of the TMC. He accused them of sheltering and protecting the goons affiliated with the ruling party.

The MP applauded the courage displayed by the BJP candidates, their families, and the voters, who, despite the negativities surrounding the panchayat elections, turned out in large numbers to vote for change. Bista urged the voters to remain steadfast and vote decisively to bring an end to the reign of terror that has gripped the state.

Assuring justice for the victim and her family, Raju Bista vowed to ensure that all those involved in the heinous act would face the full force of the law. He asserted that no one would be spared, including those trying to protect the attackers. He emphasized that the safety and well-being of the citizens, especially the children, cannot be taken for granted.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by candidates and their families during elections. It also underscores the need for a peaceful and democratic electoral process that ensures the safety of all participants.
