Abhishek Banerjee, a prominent TMC leader, has launched a scathing attack on the BJP, accusing the party of instilling fear and deprivation among voters through its policies.

Banerjee's accusations focused on the BJP's alleged tactics to intimidate voters and remove their democratic rights. He pointed out that even BJP supporters were not immune from these measures, urging the public not to be swayed by fear. He assured voters that their rights would be reinstated should the TMC regain power, pledging to continue the government's welfare initiatives.
