Abhishek Banerjee, a senior Trinamool Congress leader, hailed the recent Lok Sabha elections as a turning point marked by “protest, resistance, and revenge.” He accused the BJP of abusing central agencies, influencing the judiciary, silencing the media, and manipulating the Election Commission to maintain power. Despite the BJP-led NDA returning to power, Banerjee noted their failure to secure a majority alone, relying on allies. He celebrated TMC’s strong performance in West Bengal, where they gained seats. Banerjee’s remarks underscore a tense electoral atmosphere and reflect his party’s perspective on the BJP’s governance and tactics.
