TMC's Banerjee Clashes with PM Modi Over Accountability Demands

TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee responded critically to PM Modi's dismissal of opposition demands for accountability on governance issues as 'drama'. Banerjee highlighted concerns about the special intensive revision exercise leading to deaths and stressed the need for formal debates in Parliament to address governmental lapses.

Amidst heated political exchanges, TMC Lok Sabha leader Abhishek Banerjee countered Prime Minister Narendra Modi's allegations that the opposition was turning parliamentary sessions into theatrical performances.

Banerjee argued that the opposition's push for accountability, particularly concerning the special intensive revision exercise, should not be trivialized, as it involved significant procedural lapses allegedly resulting in multiple deaths, including officials.

The TMC MP further accused the Election Commission of mismanagement and raised broader governance issues, questioning the efficacy of demonetisation and highlighting alleged breaches by foreign entities, to underline the necessity of a formal debate in Parliament.
