Previously, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a women's rally in Barasat, criticizing the TMC government for allegedly shielding perpetrators in the Sandeshkhali case. He pledged the BJP's commitment to women's empowerment and safety, condemning the atrocities against women under TMC's rule and accusing TMC leaders of negligence and prioritizing their own interests over women's welfare. 


The tension in Sandeshkhali arose from allegations of sexual abuse by TMC strongman Sheikh Shahjahan and his associates, leading to his arrest and subsequent remand.
