West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee unleashed a fiery critique of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at a massive rally on monday, accusing the party of “criminal indifference” and repeated failures that have forced ordinary citizens into endless queues during national crises.
Drawing parallels across years of hardship, Banerjee highlighted demonetisation, oxygen shortages during COVID-19, SIR issues, and the ongoing LPG crisis. “Every. Single. Time. A different crisis. A different year. A different excuse. But the same criminal indifference. The same contempt for ordinary people,” she thundered, pointing directly at BJP
She charged the BJP with neglecting Bengal and the nation, stating, “They have no concern for the people of Bengal. They have no concern for the people of this country. The same people they have humiliated, exhausted, and pushed to the back of every queue, will queue up one final time to cast their vote and give BJP a befitting reply.”
While @BJP4India continues to sermonise about “Parivartan Sankalp,” the reality is that under its watch the nation has been pushed deeper into Sankat, economic distress, social division, and an erosion of democratic rights.

Mamata Banerjee dismissed the BJP’s “Parivartan Sankalp” (resolve for change) as hollow rhetoric, claiming the party’s tenure has plunged India into “Sankat” – deeper economic distress, social division, and erosion of democratic rights. “BJP has overstayed its welcome,” she declared.
Invoking Bengal’s storied resistance to injustice, the Trinamool Congress supremo predicted a resounding defeat. “Bengal, with its long and proud tradition of defending democratic values, will once again show the way. The verdict will be decisive. In two innings, people of Bengal will hit two clean sixes and bowl BJP out.”

The rally, held amid heightened political fervor ahead of the state polls, underscores TMC’s aggressive campaign strategy to consolidate its base against the BJP’s expansion bids in the region.
