Suvendu Adhikari Slams Mamata Banerjee Over Demographic Changes

Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of Opposition in West Bengal, fiercely criticized Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly facilitating cross-border infiltration from Bangladesh and calling Maha Kumbh a 'mrityu kumbh'. Adhikari, suspended during the budget session, accused Banerjee of dividing communities and suppressing opposition voices.

In a heated address outside the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari accused the Mamata Banerjee government of allowing demographic shifts through cross-border infiltration. He claimed the state's demographic balance was being altered, impacting the socio-religious fabric.

Adhikari also took issue with Banerjee's description of the Maha Kumbh as 'mrityu kumbh', arguing it insulted Hindu traditions. His speech coincided with the CM's budget session address, underscoring the political rift between the BJP and TMC in the state.

Furthermore, Adhikari criticized the TMC for suppressing opposition voices and skewing governance in favor of certain groups, pledging BJP's commitment to protect Hindu interests and improve women's safety in West Bengal.
