The Trinamul Congress hits back at Amit Malviya over his comments
The Statesman | 25 September 2025“Kolkata last experienced such rainfall 40 years ago. Even then, this amount of rain fell over two to three days. But this time, the same amount of rain has occurred in just 4 hours. If this much rain had fallen in Gujarat in such a short period, Amit Shah’s shiny bald head would have been submerged under water!
When floods occur in other parts of India, they express a deluge of prayers for the affected city or state! But when it happens in West Bengal or Kolkata, they start blaming the government. The people of Bengal will not tolerate this kind of hypocrisy.”
TMC MP Ritabrata Banerjee added: this was the third highest single-day rainfall in September in recorded history. Instead of showing compassion, the BJP has shown the typical brand of doing politics over dead bodies and also injecting communal venom into the discourse.”
