West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has called on communities across the state to celebrate the upcoming Ram Navami festival in a spirit of peace and harmony, urging citizens to disregard divisive rumours. The festival is set to take place on April 6, and Banerjee appealed to the public to remain vigilant.

In a pointed reference to the BJP, Banerjee labelled the party as a 'jumla' outfit, accusing it of having a sole agenda to divide the nation along religious lines. She advocated for Bengal's traditions of following figures like Ramakrishna and Vivekananda rather than succumbing to divisive politics.

Additionally, she criticized Left parties for collaborating with the BJP during elections, urging them to avoid confusing their party's goals with saffronisation.
