  "account": "West Bengal’s Urban Development and Municipal Affairs Minister Agnimitra Paul has rebuked opposition parties for exploiting a video of her chastising a woman for boiling milk on a Kolkata pavement. In the viral footage, Paul questioned the lack of assistance from opposition members to the family in need. The opposition, she alleged, was more focused on political gains than immediate humanitarian aid. Paul criticized the previous governments of the Congress, CPM, and Trinamool Congress for their alleged corruption and failure to address the needs of the people. She emphasized that the current government aims to keep the city clean, free from illegal parking, and provide shelter to those in need. The incident has sparked criticism from Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh, who accused Paul of shouting and not showing empathy.",
