Mamata Banerjee Accuses PM Modi of Using Disaster for Political Gain

NewsOrbital Desk | October 7, 2025

The political landscape in West Bengal has heated up once again as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of politicizing a recent natural disaster in the state.

Banerjee's remarks came after PM Modi publicly condemned the alleged attacks on BJP leaders in West Bengal. Responding sharply, the Chief Minister said it was “unfortunate” that such statements were made without a complete investigation. She implied that the Prime Minister was using a serious humanitarian situation for political mileage.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Banerjee voiced her concerns over the issue. While she did not directly mention PM Modi by name, the undertones of her message left little room for doubt regarding the intended target.

The ongoing friction between the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not new. However, this latest exchange has further intensified the political environment in the state, particularly as both parties prepare for the upcoming electoral season.

Political analysts believe Banerjee’s strong remarks may mark the beginning of a more aggressive campaign phase, potentially leading to sharper conflicts in the coming months.
