In Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, saying the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) cannot refute statements made by the Prime Minister on Cooch Behar and Sandeshkhali.
"There is a rule in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha proceedings that if someone makes a wrong statement, it can be removed. But today, can the TMC say that everything PM Modi said about Cooch Behar and Sandeshkhali is a lie ?" Majumdar said on Thursday.
His comments came in response to the TMC's letter to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar urging him to delete Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments made in the House on the Chopra and Sandeshkhali incidents in West Bengal. The letter was written by TMC deputy leader in Rajya Sabha Sagarika Ghose on Wednesday. The BJP leader described the West Bengal CM as a good painter who has allegedly been ruining the image of the state.
"The image of West Bengal has been ruined by Mamata Banerjee. She is a good painter. She uses only one colour, black," Majumdar added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday criticized the West Bengal government over the Sandeshkhali incident and the recent beating of a couple by people associated with a political party and said those considered to be progressive women leaders have remained silent on the matter.
Prime Minister Modi's remarks came as he was responding to the debate on the 'motion of thanks' in the President's speech in Rajya Sabha.
He said, "The pictures of the Sandeshkhali incident are chilling, but the pain is not reflected even in the words of the great leaders whom I have been listening to since yesterday. What can be a bigger picture of shame than this?"
Without naming names, Modi added: "Those who consider themselves progressive women leaders have also remained silent because the incident is related to the party or state associated with their political life."
Sandeshkhali, a village in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, had been engulfed in a political storm after villagers, mostly women, took to the streets against the ruling TMC and its strongman Shahjahan, accusing him him and his assistants of "land grabbing and sexual abuse." assault "under coercion. He was later arrested. Both the BJP and the Trinamool Congress have leveled mutual accusations over Sandeshkhali.
