Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fiercely targeted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. While attacking the Trinamool Congress government, he has criticized it for insulting President Draupadi Murmu. President Murmu expressed displeasure over the poor arrangements during his visit to the state. Called it shameful and something like this had never happened before. He also raised questions regarding the absence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Referring to the President, PM Modi said that his insult is an insult to the dignity of the country’s highest constitutional post. The PM said, the country and women power will not forgive this insult to President Draupadi Murmu.
There is an uproar in Bengal over breaking of President’s protocol
Let us tell you that President Draupadi Murmu had come to West Bengal to attend the 9th International Santhali Conclave. During this, he expressed his displeasure over the change in the venue of the program and the non-attendance of any minister of the Bengal government. Within no time this matter took a political colour. BJP leaders including PM Modi and many Union ministers made serious allegations against TMC. CM Mamata Banerjee strongly criticized BJP regarding this attack on TMC and her government. He hit back and linked it to the Modi-led BJP’s aggressive campaign ahead of state elections in two months.
The President had expressed his displeasure over changing the venue of the program
On Saturday, President Murmu attended the conference of the tribal community. It was going to happen in Bidhanagar. Later, citing crowd, it was shifted to a smaller place in Goshaipur near Bagdogra Airport. On this the President said that he was sad that the people here could not reach the conference. Because it was getting too far. Addressing a gathering in Phansidewa near Siliguri, Murmu, who hails from the Santhal community, said that perhaps the administration was hoping that no one would be able to attend. The President will go back.
What did President Murmu say?
President Murmu called Mamata Banerjee his younger sister. He expressed surprise and asked if he was angry with him. Generally it is seen that when the President comes, the Chief Minister and other ministers are present, but the Chief Minister did not come. I am also a daughter of Bengal. I am not allowed to come to Bengal. Mamta didi is like my younger sister. Maybe he is angry with me. That’s why the program was kept so far away, but no problem.
What answer did Mamata Banerjee give?
Here Mamata Banerjee hit back and accused the President of doing politics at the behest of BJP. Mamata Banerjee said in Kolkata that BJP has stooped so low that they are using President Draupadi Murmu to defame the state. Mamta Banerjee also gave clarification on not attending the programme. He said that this was not possible for him. Especially before the assembly elections to be held later this year. He has also shared a document on social media. It is clearly written in it that this plan was made due to security and logistics. This information was given to the President’s office.
