  • Banerjee framed her actions combatively, stating, "An injured tiger is more dangerous than a healthy tiger," and accused ED of being a BJP political tool.
  • Her actions are seen as an early election campaign, aiming to build a narrative of political vendetta against TMC and energize party workers.
