BJP Accuses West Bengal’s Banerjee of ‘Jungle Raj,’ Threatening Home Minister

NEW DELHI, January 2, 2026 – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today launched a scathing attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress, alleging a state of “maha jungle raj” prevailing in the state.

During a press conference, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia asserted that law and order had completely collapsed in West Bengal under Banerjee’s leadership. He further accused the Chief Minister of making threats against Union Home Minister Amit Shah, claiming she implied she could prevent him from entering or moving freely within the state.

“A Chief Minister… threatens the Home Minister of India,” Bhatia stated. “She says ‘if I do not want it, the Home Minister of India cannot enter West Bengal.'”

Bhatia also accused Banerjee of prioritizing Rohingya infiltrators for political gain. He referenced comments made by Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, alleging that Banerjee was not simply stealing votes, but committing “vote dacoity” in West Bengal.

The accusations mark a significant escalation in the ongoing political tensions between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal.
