KOLKATA: BJP heavyweight and Union Minister Giriraj Singh unleashed a barrage of questions on West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s administrative approach, terming her 15-year stint a disaster for the state.
During a press interaction Friday, he cited sub-3% industrial growth and widespread per capita indebtedness as proof of mismanagement. ‘The sorry state speaks volumes about her leadership,’ Singh observed.
Singh condemned Banerjee’s dharna in support of infiltrators as deplorable. ‘A CM protesting for intruders? This fosters a culture where thieves dictate terms to police,’ he charged, linking it directly to her governance lapses.
Describing widespread rural agony, he noted farmers and laborers in every village pleading for relief amid confusion. He contrasted this with TMC elites’ opulent lifestyles, claiming they looted Rs 15 lakh crore from the Centre, leading to Banerjee’s current reliance on thugs for anti-national protests.
‘Is this the Bengal we can stomach? Absolutely not,’ Singh asserted firmly.
These statements amplify BJP’s narrative ahead of key political battles, spotlighting failures in development, security, and fiscal responsibility under TMC rule.
