🇮🇳 প্রার্থী

প্রার্থী (Prarthi) is a Bengali term that translates to "candidate," commonly used to refer to individuals contesting elections. It is currently trending due to reports of post-election violence and clashes in Kolkata, India. Recent headlines describe attacks on both BJP and TMC candidates and party workers following the conclusion of voting, leading to accusations between the political factions. Such incidents of political unrest, particularly after elections, are unfortunately a recurring concern in the region.
