'Radical thinking': INDIA bloc allies snub Left leader Neha Bora's Brahmanvaad remark

West Bengal minister Dilip Ghosh criticized former chief minister Mamata Banerjee for joining the INDIA bloc rally in Delhi against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Ghosh accused Banerjee of seeking political relevance by aligning with Congress leader Sonia Gandhi due to her party's loss of political ground.

He claimed that Banerjee's party has lost its relevance in West Bengal and that she is now relying on Sonia Gandhi for leadership out of utter helplessness. Ghosh also criticized the previous Trinamool Congress government for not providing adequate funds or meaningful work to development boards formed for marginalized communities, including the Matua community, which faced economic hardships.

He stated that the Matua community, many of whom migrated from Bangladesh, needed focused development measures and urged the board to be actively functional and provided with funds, which the current chief minister, Suvendu Adhikari, had initiated.
