West Bengal politics is witnessing a heated atmosphere, days before the by-polls for six assembly seats next month, with political leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress and the main rival Bharatiya Janata Party making severely bitter remarks against each other. One such statement came on Sunday when Bollywood actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty responded with a message of violence against the heated statement made by Trinamool's Humayun Kabir before the Lok Sabha polls.

Referring to Kabir's comment, in which he threatened the rival party workers on religious grounds and was reprimanded by the poll panel, Chakraborty called on the BJP workers to 'chop them up and bury them underground.'

"A leader says there are 70 per cent Muslims and 30 per cent Hindus (and) that he will 'cut' and throw them in the Bhagirathi... I thought the Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee) would say something. She didn't... so now I am saying, we will chop them (up) and bury them in the ground..." he said.

"I am not the Chief Minister... but I am saying this," the Mithun raged, "We will do anything to win the masnad (throne) of Bengal... it will belong to the BJP after the 2026 Assembly election."

Mithun's vitriol came in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who had just felicitated the veteran actor for winning the Dada Saheb Phalke award on October 8.

"I am saying it again and again... we will do anything (to win the 2026 election) ... anything. I am saying this with Home Minister Amit Shahji sitting here - we will do anything," the actor-politician added to the heated remark.

Chakraborty did not stop at just here, he further said: "I say we will cut you up and throw you, not in the Bhagirathi because that is our mother, but we will throw you in the ground."

Mithun's inciting statement followed similar inflammatory remarks by TMC leader Humayun Kabir, who had threatened the Hindu community living in the state while campaigning for a party candidate in May 2024, days before the Lok Sabha polls.

"You are 30 per cent (of the people here) but we are 70 per cent... if you think you can demolish mosques and Muslims will sit back and relax... (you are wrong). I will leave politics if I don't drown you people in the Bhagirathi," Kabir had said.
