The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has sharply criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Kolkata, dubbing him a 'political tourist' and accusing him of engaging in activities driven by optics rather than genuine concern. The party's remarks came after Modi highlighted the cultural and spiritual significance of the Ganga during his visit, where he spent time on the banks of the Hooghly River, offered prayers, and interacted with local boatmen. TMC claimed that Modi's previous appearance at Chhath Puja in Delhi was staged in a controlled environment, further questioning the authenticity of his current visit. TMC's statement reflects ongoing political tensions in West Bengal, where Modi's government has been criticized for its approach to regional issues.
