Suvendu vows to keep Mamata off the streets, TMC chairperson says not taking political sanyas
Over the past few years, the politics in West Bengal has hinged on the electoral contest between Suvendu Adhikari and Mamata Banerjee
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari vowed on Monday (August 24, 2026) to prevent his predecessor, former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, from leaving her home. Referring to Banerjee's frequent social media interactions, Adhikari stated, "Remain active on facebook. You will not have to go out on the streets anymore. I will also make arrangements so that you cannot go out on the streets," during a press conference at the State Secretariat.
Banerjee dismissed the threat as a "NEW LOW in Indian politics," urging Indian leaders to condemn the remark. Other TMC leaders also condemned Adhikari's comments.
