Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government for disrespecting President Droupadi Murmu, calling it an insult to the Constitution and a blow to democracy. He highlighted that the TMC government in West Bengal had gravely insulted President Murmu during a significant celebration of the Santhal community. The event faced chaos due to a last-minute change in venue, with the President expressing displeasure over the situation.
PM Modi condemned the actions of the Trinamool Congress, accusing them of engaging in dirty politics and disrespecting a tribal President. He emphasized that the arrogance of the TMC would not go unpunished and that the people of West Bengal would not forgive them for insulting a woman and a tribal leader. The West Bengal government, under the Trinamool Congress, faced severe criticism from various quarters for its handling of the President’s program.
The President’s visit to West Bengal was marred by controversy as the state administration allegedly denied permission for the original event location, leading to a change in venue. President Murmu expressed concerns over the sudden alteration and the lack of courtesy extended to her during the visit. PM Modi underscored the importance of respecting individuals who have worked hard to achieve significant positions, labeling the incident as an insult to all women and daughters who strive for success.
