Himanta Biswa Sarma Slams Mamata Banerjee in Alipurduar, Alleges Lack of Development

In a sharp political attack during a public rally in Alipurduar, West Bengal, Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), alleging a lack of focus on development and governance. Addressing the gathering, Sarma claimed that TMC leaders are diverting attention from real issues by making rhetorical statements instead of highlighting developmental work. He further alleged that the state government under Mamata Banerjee has failed to deliver tangible progress for the people. The Assam Chief Minister also stirred controversy with remarks related to border security, accusing the West Bengal government of being lenient towards illegal infiltration from Bangladesh—an issue that has remained politically sensitive in the region. His comments come amid heightened political activity in West Bengal, with parties intensifying their campaigns and sharpening their narratives ahead of upcoming electoral battles.
