On Monday (2nd February), BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video exposing illegal filling up of a public water body by TMC-sponsored land mafia in Bhangar in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal.
While posting the video, he informed, “What is unfolding in Bhangar right now is nothing short of a criminal conspiracy against the people and the environment, and the TMC Government is the biggest facilitator.”
He informed that the public pond is the property of the West Bengal government. “In the pitch-black cover of night, TMC-backed land mafias are brazenly filling up a massive public pond at the entrance to Bijoyganj Bazar in Bhangar; South 24 Parganas district. This is no ordinary water body, it is situated in a land officially recognized as belonging to the Hospital and the Health Department,” Adhikari stated.
Another Anandapur in the making under your nose, CP @KolkataPolice?

“Yet, dumpers loaded with soil and JCB machines are operating with complete impunity, destroying a vital water resource and an absent administration is looking the other way,” he added.
The BJP leader warned that this could lead to a man-made disaster, as was witnessed in Anandpur a few days earlier.
“Here too, literally a foundation is being laid for unauthorized constructions, unregulated activities, and zero oversight from Government departments…This is not governance, this is Mafia Raj. This is systematic destruction of water bodies, environment, and public safety for personal profit and political patronage,” Adhikari concluded.
