TMC's Visarjan Certain in 2026: BJP Slams Mamata Over ED Raid Interference

  • BJP's Samik Bhattacharya accused CM Mamata Banerjee of interfering with an ED raid at I-PAC, alleging she "snatched files" to protect those in scams.
  • Bhattacharya claimed Mamata's actions were to derail investigations into coal scam and Hawala cases, calling it a "black day for West Bengal."
  • He asserted that West Bengal voters would ensure TMC's "dissolution" in the 2026 Assembly elections.
  • Mamata Banerjee accused ED of unlawfully seizing party data, laptops, and strategic documents during the raid, calling it a "crime."
  • She alleged irregularities in the SIR process, claiming 54 lakh voter names were deleted and accused BJP of causing 72 deaths due to SIR stress.

Why It Matters: BJP slams Mamata for obstructing ED raid, predicting TMC's 2026 defeat amid counter-allegations.
