The BJP, however, rejected the TMC’s criticism of the Narendra Modi government on its ninth anniversary as an “effort to divert attention from its failures.”
“The TMC must first assess its performance while being in power in West Bengal for the last 12 years. The state government and the ruling party are neck-deep in corruption, and its administrative failure is evident from the worsening law and order situation,” BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar said.
