Union Minister Giriraj Singh criticized Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for being opportunistic and forming alliances with political rivals for power. Singh highlighted Gandhi’s past alliance with CM Mamata Banerjee’s party during the Lok Sabha polls. He defended BJP’s stance on governance issues in West Bengal, citing the party’s history of fighting misgovernance.
Singh’s comments come amidst escalating political debates on governance, unemployment, and constitutional values in West Bengal. Both the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and opposition parties have intensified their campaign rhetoric in the poll-bound state. Rahul Gandhi, in recent rallies, accused the BJP and RSS of weakening the Constitution and criticized the TMC government over unemployment issues.
The political confrontation in West Bengal has heightened as the state gears up for upcoming elections. Polling is scheduled in two phases on April 23 and April 29, 2026, with the results set to be declared on May 4, 2026. The electoral process is expected to conclude by May 6, 2026.
