KOLKATA, WEST BENGAL — West Bengal BJP President and MP Samik Bhattacharya launched a sharp political attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, while also strongly defending the BJP’s policy initiatives, including the Women’s Reservation Bill.
Speaking in Kolkata, Bhattacharya said that the Chief Minister’s statements no longer influence the people of West Bengal, claiming that public sentiment has shifted significantly. He alleged that the Trinamool Congress has lost its relevance, using strong language to suggest that the party is nearing its political end.
Referring to the current political climate, he stated that the electorate is prepared for change and that the coming elections will reflect this shift in public mood. His remarks come amid heightened campaigning in the state ahead of key electoral contests.
On the Women’s Reservation Bill, Bhattacharya подчеркнул that the BJP has a track record of fulfilling its commitments, citing major decisions taken by the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said the party does not operate with hidden agendas and pointed to past policy actions as examples.
Among the initiatives he mentioned were the abrogation of Article 370, the abolition of Triple Talaq, and the construction of the Ram Mandir. He asserted that these decisions demonstrate the BJP’s commitment to delivering on its promises.
Bhattacharya also expressed confidence that the Women’s Reservation Bill will be fully implemented, along with other proposed reforms such as the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and measures related to population policy. He indicated that these initiatives are part of a broader vision for governance and reform.
The remarks reflect the BJP’s broader political narrative in West Bengal, where the party is positioning itself as an alternative to the ruling Trinamool Congress. Leaders have been highlighting governance, policy delivery, and national-level reforms as key campaign themes.
At the same time, the statements add to the intensifying political rhetoric in the state, with both the BJP and TMC engaging in sharp exchanges over governance, development, and public support.
Samik Bhattacharya’s comments underline the BJP’s assertive campaign stance in West Bengal, combining criticism of the ruling government with a strong emphasis on its policy agenda and track record at the national level.
