NEW DELHI: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Tuesday accused the BJP of “crossing all limits” after claiming that one of its party offices in Siliguri was set on fire, sharing a video of the alleged incident on social media. The party said the act reflected a “thirst for destruction.” The allegation comes against the backdrop of multiple reported attacks on TMC offices across West Bengal as the 2026 Assembly election results reshape the state’s political landscape.In Asansol’s Godhuli area, a TMC office was allegedly vandalised on Monday, with furniture destroyed and flags, posters and banners torn down. Earlier in the day, another office in Dumurjala in Howrah was also targeted, with visuals showing broken windows, scattered furniture and party flags thrown onto the road.
