Battle for Intellectual Legacy: Mamata Banerjee vs. Narendra Modi Over Jadavpur University

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly branding Jadavpur University as a hub of anarchy, asserting that such comments undermine the institution's academic reputation.

In a social media post, Banerjee expressed her dismay over the prime minister's attempts to associate anarchy with a section of the student body at the university, questioning whether such remarks align with the decorum of the highest office in the country.

Banerjee further emphasized the importance of student protests as part of democratic processes, while Modi alleges that the ruling TMC has led to the deterioration of Bengal's premier educational institutions.
