Governor Jagdin Dhankhad tweeted that there were no signs of the violence ending in Bengal. A bomb hurled at the residence of MP Arjun Singh was a matter of concern in terms of law and order. Dhankad hoped the Bengal Police to take immediate action in the matter. Arjun Singh’s safety issue has already been raised with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The incident has flashed back memories of post-election violence in Bengal. (If such incidents continue to occur in the State and the Government fails to stop them, then why is the President’s rule not imposed ? – Editor)
