01:09Anupam, very good afternoon to you. It's indeed a tragedy of extreme kinds that we see at this given point
01:18that Chorbagan has witnessed.
01:20But politics has been peaking since yesterday. TMC going all guns blazing at the BJP, questioning the deaths, questioning the
01:29ill-preparedness around the Pandal in terms of facilities.
01:32Be it medical facilities, be it the cops. Where were all of them when the incident happened?
01:38Why wasn't enough facilities available to the people to help the people in trouble there?
01:43That's the question being mounted.
01:49Well, yes, Shehab, TMC is questioning a lot of things, especially the crowd management, the role of the Kolkata police.
01:57Right now, Kunal Ghosh, the spokesperson of the TMC, has questioned the crowd management, especially the Kolkata police personnel, and
02:04has demanded resignation of Kolkata police commissioner Ajay Nand.
02:09And he also said that he should resign, otherwise he should be dismissed.
02:14That is what Kunal Ghosh is writing on social media at present, and he has attacked Shubhendu Adhikari and BJP
02:22government also, that why main culprits are not behind the bars, why they have not been arrested so far.
02:28If they are outside, they can influence the investigation.
02:32That is what Kunal Ghosh is saying at present.
02:35So, it's a direct attack on BJP by TMC, and several questions are being raised by TMC from yesterday, after
02:43the incident, whether it's Abhishek Banerjee, whether other leaders, and especially Kunal Ghosh, because he stays in that area, and
02:55he knows the exact location, he knows very well the area, and he is raising several questions over the incident.
