Kolkata Rains Trigger Political Row: BJP and TMC Clash Over Puja Timing and Attire

Heavy rainfall has caused significant disruption in Kolkata, leading to a heated exchange between the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Adhikari Attributes Crisis to Banerjee’s Actions

BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has controversially linked the flooding crisis to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s inauguration of Durga Puja celebrations before the traditionally auspicious Devi Paksha period. He further criticized Banerjee’s choice of attire, a hijab, during the inauguration.

TMC Likely to Respond to BJP’s Accusations

The TMC is expected to respond to Adhikari’s comments, which are likely to further escalate the political tension in West Bengal.
