A major political controversy has erupted in West Bengal after BJP MP from Ranaghat, Jagannath Sarkar, stated during a rally in Nadia district that if the BJP wins the upcoming election, there would be “no barbed wire fence” between India and Bangladesh, and the “two Bengals would be one again.” His comment quickly drew sharp reactions from all quarters, with the Trinamool Congress accusing the BJP of irresponsibly using sensitive cross-border issues for political gain. Political analysts warned that such remarks undermine India’s diplomatic integrity and could strain bilateral ties with Bangladesh. The statement has also caused discomfort within the BJP itself, a party that has long emphasized border security and the issue of illegal infiltration. The timing of the remark, during the state’s ongoing voter list revision, makes it politically risky and potentially damaging for the party’s electoral strategy.
