Patna, March 8: BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal unleashed a scathing attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of insulting President Droupadi Murmu purely because she hails from the tribal community. Speaking to reporters here, Jaiswal claimed Banerjee’s actions reveal her deep-seated prejudice against an Adivasi woman rising to the nation’s highest office.
The controversy erupted after President Murmu expressed displeasure over a last-minute change in the venue of an event she was scheduled to attend in West Bengal. BJP leaders have since launched a blistering offensive against Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress government, labeling it a blatant disregard for constitutional dignity.
‘Mamata Banerjee cannot stomach the fact that a teacher from Odisha, belonging to the tribal society, has become India’s President,’ Jaiswal remarked sharply. He pointed to Banerjee’s provocative statements and failure to adhere to protocol as evidence of her mentality. ‘The people of India will teach her a lesson for this insult to the President,’ he asserted confidently.
In a post on X, Jaiswal further condemned the TMC regime for crossing all limits of propriety. ‘Ignoring the sentiments of President Droupadi Murmu and the tribal community is deeply unfortunate. The President’s office transcends politics; its honor must be upheld at all costs. Banerjee’s cheap politics has torn the fabric of democracy,’ he wrote.
Shifting gears, Jaiswal welcomed the entry of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s son Nishant into active politics. ‘Everyone has the right to join politics, especially educated individuals. Their involvement elevates the ideological standards of political discourse,’ he said, extending a warm invitation to quality leaders.
On International Women’s Day, the BJP leader paid tribute to women’s unparalleled contributions across family, society, and nation-building. ‘Let us reaffirm our commitment to honoring, protecting, and empowering Nari Shakti on this occasion. Heartiest greetings to all mothers, sisters, and daughters,’ he concluded on a celebratory note.
