00:00The Chorbagan Pandal Stampede has stoked a massive political storm.
00:05The tragedy that claimed the lives of 19 innocents has given the TMC fresh ammunition to corner Shubendu's government.
00:13Srinamogul Congress has demanded accountability in the resignation of Chief Minister Shubendu Adhikari,
00:18alleging that his nephew, Bharatiya Janata Party, MLA, serves as a president of the Chorbagan Puja Committee.
00:24TMC also cited Shah's security cover, alleging that providing VIP security cover was important for the BJP government in Bengal
00:32and public safety was ignored.
00:34TMC MP Obishek Banerjee in a statement and a post also highlighted that this was the first time such an
00:40incident has taken place in Bengal amid Durga Puja.
