West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly trying to supplant the Indian Constitution with their party manifesto. She claimed that the BJP is using democratic institutions and constitutional positions to further their own interests. This comes after a recent controversy involving President Droupadi Murmu’s participation in an event in Darjeeling.
Banerjee expressed concern over what she sees as the BJP’s manipulation of various institutions and bodies against West Bengal. She accused the BJP of using the Election Commission of India to manipulate voter lists in the state, aiming to replace the Constitution with their party’s agenda. The Chief Minister emphasized her commitment to standing against such actions and supporting the people of West Bengal.
In a social media post, Banerjee highlighted the BJP’s alleged efforts to centralize power and asserted her focus on serving the people. She vowed to resist any attempts to undermine the state’s integrity and stated that Bengal will not succumb to external pressures. The Chief Minister concluded by expressing confidence in Bengal’s ability to overcome challenges and resist what she perceives as threats to its autonomy.
