TMC Takes on BJP in Parliament, Defending Bengali Identity

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has ramped up its “Bengali Asmita” campaign, challenging the BJP’s stance on issues crucial to Bengali identity. This intensified effort is evident in the numerous pointed questions raised by TMC MPs in both houses of Parliament.

Tagore Statue and Hindu Concerns at the Forefront

Among the key issues highlighted by the TMC are concerns regarding the Tagore statue and matters affecting the Hindu community. These questions appear strategically aligned with the party’s broader campaign to position itself as the true defender of Bengali culture and interests.

A Direct Challenge to BJP’s Narrative

By raising these specific questions, the TMC is directly confronting the BJP’s narrative and attempting to corner them on issues sensitive to the Bengali population. This parliamentary tactic underscores the growing political tension between the two parties.
