Delhi’s political landscape heated up as Trinamool Congress MPs launched a high-profile protest right outside Home Minister Amit Shah’s office. Dozens of green-clad legislators from Mamata Banerjee’s party voiced their outrage against what they call ‘dictatorial tactics’ by the BJP-led government.
Chanting anti-BJP slogans and holding aloft posters criticizing central interference, the MPs blockaded the entrance for several hours. Key grievances included the Enforcement Directorate’s raids on TMC leaders and delays in releasing state funds. ‘We won’t bow down to bullying,’ proclaimed a senior TMC MP amidst the charged atmosphere.
The protest, meticulously organized, saw participation from both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha members, amplifying its national resonance. Police formed human barriers, but the event remained peaceful, allowing media crews to capture every moment.
In the backdrop of West Bengal’s vibrant political scene, this Delhi foray represents TMC’s aggressive pushback strategy. Banerjee’s party has long alleged bias in central probes, a narrative they hope to leverage in upcoming polls. BJP countered by labeling the agitators as ‘disruptors seeking sympathy.’
As tensions simmer, this protest could foreshadow more direct confrontations, testing the limits of federal relations. Political analysts predict it will fuel debates on governance and accountability, keeping both parties on their toes.
