Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare and Chemicals and Fertilisers, Jagat Prakash Nadda, criticized the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal, accusing it of disregarding the law, judiciary, and democratic norms. Nadda’s remarks came in response to questions raised by TMC MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy in the Rajya Sabha regarding actions against the state leadership.
Nadda highlighted that West Bengal is the only state where rules and the rule of law are being flouted. He emphasized that the Trinamool Congress shows a lack of respect for democratic processes and even intimidates the judiciary. Nadda clarified that the actions taken were a result of the state leadership’s own conduct, not decisions by the central government.
The Union Minister pointed out that the government operates based on the rule of law, leading to the current situation in West Bengal. Nadda also criticized the TMC leadership for disrespecting constitutional institutions, citing an incident where the Chief Minister allegedly showed disrespect to the President of India, who hails from the tribal community. The exchange of comments sparked political debates between the ruling alliance and the opposition in the Upper House.
