In a high-octane election campaign, TMC chief Mamata Banerjee launched a scathing attack on the BJP and an unnamed political entity from Hyderabad, calling them “BJP’s cuckoos.” She alleged that these forces have been deployed in Bengal specifically to split the minority votes and aid the saffron party in the upcoming elections.

However, the most controversial part of her speech was her direct comment on the judiciary. Mamata alleged that the BJP-led central government is interfering with the judicial process and “holding back judges” from making independent decisions. This sensational claim has sparked a major controversy, with legal experts and opposition leaders condemning the remark. As the poll heat rises, Mamata’s dual attack on “outsider political agents” and the handling of the judiciary has set a new narrative for the political battle in West Bengal.
