Tensions between India's political heavyweights escalated as Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized West Bengal's safety conditions for women under Mamata Banerjee's administration. He cited recent violent incidents and accused the Trinamool Congress of protecting the accused.
Chief Minister Banerjee fired back at Modi, highlighting instances of violence against women in Odisha, a BJP-ruled state, and questioning the BJP's stance on women's safety. She refuted Modi's allegations, insisting on her government's prompt action against perpetrators.
In a scathing critique, Banerjee condemned the BJP's decision to award a party ticket to Karan Bhushan Singh despite allegations against his father. She described it as 'politics of proxy' and demanded accountability at a national level.
