West Bengal CM, Mamata Banerjee lambasted the latest trip of home minister to Bankura to the house of a tribal. She called the trip a show-off alleging that the lunch eaten by the Home minister in the house of the tribals in Chaturthi village, was cooked by a Brahmin cook somewhere else. She also took a jibe at Amit shah stating that he did not even know who actually was Birsa munda and that he garlanded a wrong statue. Additionally, the CM stated that the Bengal government would celebrate Munda’s birthday by declaring it a holiday.

The CM addressed a state government function in Khatra area of Bankura district and castigated the home minister for ignoring a child in the region who was suffering from Thalasemia. In an attempt to connect with the tribals, the CM stated that the Ma, Mati, Manush workers (TMC cadres) would install a statue of Birsa Munda in that region.

Banerjee also criticized the central government over the amendment of the Essential Commodities Act and termed the central government as Aloo ki sarkar, which has caused the removal of potatoes and onions from the ECA list causing a problematic rise in their prices.

In a parallel development, the CM recently asked the GOI when the Covid19 vaccine will be delivered, to which the centre has given confounding answers including comments that neither the doses nor the prices have been decided upon.
