Mamata Banerjee, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal and leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), launched a fierce critique of the Central government, accusing it of 'state terrorism' and asserting her commitment to a legal battle to uphold the Constitution. Speaking to TMC workers and the public, she highlighted her administration's developmental achievements, contrasting them with what she termed the current government's 'vandalism' and looting. Banerjee's remarks came in response to a recent demolition drive targeting illegal structures near Howrah Railway Station, which she condemned as an act of aggression. She called on the judiciary to protect the law and expressed her determination to challenge the government's actions, stating, 'I will see which holds more power - the Constitution or the nozzle of a gun.' Additionally, the TMC has organized protests against the 'bulldozer culture' and the eviction of hawkers, signaling ongoing tensions between the party and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
