Abhishek Banerjee, Trinamool Congress national general secretary, has leveled serious accusations against the BJP leadership and central agencies, claiming they have combined efforts to undermine the 'woman opposition chief minister' of West Bengal in the assembly elections.

Speaking at a rally in Metiabruz, southwestern Kolkata, Banerjee, who also serves as the Diamond Harbour MP, criticized the BJP's alleged control over the ED, CBI, and Income Tax Department, asserting it won't halt the TMC's victory. He highlighted Mamata Banerjee's persistent fight bolstered by public support.

Banerjee also pointed fingers at AIMIM and other minority leaders, suggesting they align with the BJP under central security. He criticized BJP leaders for their campaign tactics in West Bengal, alleging a disconnect with local culture and slammed EVM irregularities. Banerjee affirmed Mamata's commitment to reinstating 32 lakh deleted voters once re-elected.
