Abhishek Banerjee has strongly defended the West Bengal government following the controversy surrounding the Lionel Messi G.O.A.T India tour in Kolkata. Banerjee emphasized that the state administration demonstrated remarkable accountability by initiating a high-level probe immediately after the chaos erupted at the Salt Lake Stadium.

He specifically highlighted that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee issued a public apology within just one hour of the incident, showcasing a leader who is sensitive to the public's frustration.

Abhishek compared the TMC's handling of the situation with the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) track record during past national tragedies. He cited the stampedes at the Mahakumbh Mela and the New Delhi railway station, where several lives were lost, claiming that the BJP-led government failed to show similar transparency or accountability.
