West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee minced no words in a fiery retort to Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s controversial statement. The eight-second video clip, captured during an election rally in Bengal’s Murshidabad, has set the political arena ablaze.
Mamata Banerjee response to controversy
Chowdhury, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress (INC), had audaciously declared that it is “better” to vote for the rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) than the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC). His words reverberated across party lines, sparking heated debates and raising eyebrows.
Mamata Banerjee as Leader of TMC
Mamata Banerjee, known for her unyielding spirit and sharp tongue, swiftly responded. She questioned why Chowdhury was treated with “utmost respect” by the BJP, insinuating that the Congress leader’s alignment with the ruling party was more than mere coincidence. The TMC chief further accused both the Left and Congress of joining hands with the BJP, asserting that voting for Congress was akin to voting for the BJP itself.
Political Dangal in West Bengal
The political tension between Mamata Banerjee and the Congress escalated, with the Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief not mincing her words. She accused Chowdhury of flip-flopping and challenged his loyalty“I wonder,” she said, “if you are not working as the agent of BJP now.” She reminded him of the past alliance between the Congress and the BJP, emphasizing that the Congress had always received TMC’s support.
