The Kamardanga Sadharan Durgotsav Samiti put up a controversial banner declaring the 'Annihilation of the Left' this Puja and banned CPI(M) and other left-wing parties from setting up book stalls near their pandal, which has the main theme of 'Hindu Sanatan Rashtra'.
The Left responded by putting up a counter-hoarding next to the original one recalling the historical fate of German dictator Hitler, and they stated that they will set up their traditional book stalls in designated places despite threats.
Suraj Kumar Singh, the main organizer of the Puja committee, stated that leftists do not believe in religion and have always insulted Hinduism, warning that saffron flags would be hoisted and the Bhagavad Gita recited if the Left attempts to set up stalls.
