In the West Bengal Assembly, a fierce confrontation unfolded between Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari. Suvendu accused the state government of operating as a “Muslim government” and claimed he was suspended for supporting Hinduism.

His remarks sparked a strong rebuttal from Mamata, who denied the allegations and criticized the political motives behind them. Mamata rejected the claims outright, asserting that she did not live according to religious lines. She emphasized her personal background, stating that she was the daughter of a Brahmin family, but also highlighted that her actions as a politician were not dictated by religion.

The CM made it clear that her focus remained on governance and the welfare of all citizens, regardless of their faith. Addressing the allegations further, Mamata said, “What do you have left to say about my name? I will not sacrifice my self-respect for politics. I will not allow you to disrespect me again.” This statement underscored her firm stance against personal attacks and any attempts to undermine her credibility in the political arena.

The confrontation did not stop there. Mamata warned Suvendu against crossing a line, saying, “If you try to cross the Lakshman Rekha, I have the right to respond.” This remark reflected her determination to stand firm against any accusations or actions she perceives as harmful to her dignity or that of her government.
