Operation Sindur and Political Holi: Mamata's Allegation
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee stated that while all opposition parties are unitedly raising their voices in the national interest and attempting to convey their message internationally, the central government is playing political games. She expressed her support for "Operation Sindur" but alleged that PM Modi is holding rallies across the country for political advantage. Banerjee clearly stated that the central government's strategy aims to divide the most sensitive parts of the country and exploit the situation for political gains.
Mamata Banerjee said, "While the opposition is raising its voice to save the nation's prestige, the Prime Minister is trying to defame the country. He is conducting 'Operation Bengal,' aimed solely at targeting West Bengal."
Challenge for a Live Election Debate
