West Bengal bandh today: schools, colleges, metro, offices remain closed?

UNN/BIJAN BANERJEE (KOLKATA) In the wake of the deteriorating law and order situation due to protests over Kolkata rape and murder case, the West Bengal BJP on Tuesday called for a 12-hour West Bengal bandh on Wednesday. This was announced by Union Minister and WB BJP president Sukanta Majumdar. Sukanta Majumdar accused the Left and the Trinamool Congress of employing a strategy of “setting politics” in Bengal over the rape and murder case.
Majumdar alleged that the TMC government was oppressing students and the Left had expressed its support by not participating in the protests. The announcement from the BJP comes amid the ongoing clashes between police and members of Chhatr Samaj during Nabanna Abhiyan.
The BJP called Mamata a “dictator” and demanded her resignation to ensure a fair probe into the rape and murder case. The BJP also demanded the CBI to conduct a polygraph test on Banerjee and police commissioner Vineet Goyal, who the party alleged had initially said that the victim died by suicide.
