In a fiery address, TMC's Abhishek Banerjee denounced the BJP-led government's new legislative bills as an attempt to maintain power while circumventing accountability. Labeling the bills as a "gimmick," Banerjee accused the government of diverting attention from its failure to advance electoral roll revisions.
Banerjee's remarks come amidst heightened political tension, as proposed amendments would see prime ministers and chief ministers losing their posts after 30 days in custody for serious offenses. He argued the bills were designed to minimize opposition as the BJP struggles with numbers in Parliament.
Calling for a joint committee review, he criticized the government for weaponizing agencies against adversaries. Amid accusations of bias, Banerjee tackled high-profile cases and alleged BJP practices of coercing opposition leaders into submission. The debate is part of a broader narrative of divisive politics in India.
