In a strong political statement, BJP leaders have criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, alleging that her governance is creating divisions in the state. Speaking at a recent event, a senior leader compared the current situation in Bengal to the 1905 Partition of Bengal by the British, stating that Mamata Banerjee’s policies resemble “tutshi-karan” (appeasement) that isolates Bengal from the rest of India. The leader questioned whether Bengal is being treated as a “different part of India,” suggesting that the state government’s actions are undermining constitutional processes. He accused Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress of disregarding the larger interests of the country and creating political and social fragmentation within Bengal. These remarks have sparked debates across political circles, with opposition parties supporting the criticism while TMC has yet to respond officially. Analysts say such statements reflect the heightened political tensions in the state ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, as both national and regional parties intensify their campaigns to consolidate influence in Bengal.
