By. And what about Communist violence?
Venkat TL (
talk) 07:38, 3 March 2022 (UTC)reply
This is the violence mentioned in this Article
"The BJP claimed that at least six of its workers were killed during attacks by workers of the ruling Trinamool Congress. Five TMC workers were also killed in these attacks. ... . In Khanakul, a TMC worker was reportedly hacked to death. Meanwhile, ... spreading fake news."
"Udayan Guha, TMC candidate from Dinhata and former Dinhata MLA was attacked by miscreants in Dinhata on 6 May. ... . TMC blamed BJP for this attack. FIR was lodged ... . He questioned the role of the police, as those accused in the attack on him were still elusive."
"Many women, including a minor girl, were allegedly raped by TMC workers ... ; their account moved to Supreme court."
I dont see how is this under-reporting TMC.
There is a para discussing a single event in which both sides lost members and another paragraph exclusively talking about a single TMC candidate and violence against him. After that a single line about rape cases. Actually I'd suggest that this page still misses out a lot of violence against BJP.
"In some areas TMC leaders and workers came to the bring back homeless BJP workers to their homes after they were attacked in the post poll violence ... These workers claimed that they were attacked , looted , shops and furniture damaged. ... TMC leaders helped BJP workers open their shops again ... [instances of rescue]."
I wonder if there were enough rescue campaigns conducted by TMC for BJP workers there must've been widespread violence against BJP to begin with which doesn't find a single word in this article. These instances need to be added in this article with R/S. I suggest this article needs updating but this definitely doesn't under-reporting some party.
And Yes, Violence by and against Communists is under-reported. >>>

In order to paint a Grim picture the article creator has convinently ignored the history of post poll violence in Bengal that is a regular occurrence.

The above article provides a background and summarizes the topic. Now compare this with the picture that this wikipedia article has painted.
