Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a sharp attack against the state’s BJP-led administration during a Facebook Live address, highlighting escalating political tensions in the state. She raised serious concerns regarding the renaming of existing welfare schemes, deteriorating law and order, and rising crimes against women. Banerjee accused the current dispensation of shifting focus away from governance and focusing on political retribution instead of public welfare.
During her address, the former chief minister questioned the public directly, asking how long citizens would remain silent amidst changing policies and growing unrest. She emphasized key social issues, including ongoing student and youth protests across the state, claiming that the administration has failed to address the legitimate demands of the younger generation.
Banerjee further criticized the administration for altering the names of key government schemes that were previously introduced to aid marginalized communities. She urged citizens to voice their concerns against administrative failures, asserting that the political opposition will continue to raise its voice against governance lapses and policy shifts in the state.
