The BJP strongly criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her 'Dushasan' jibe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah. BJP leaders, including Sambit Patra, accused Banerjee of threatening Shah and India, asserting the BJP would win the upcoming state elections. Patra's remarks suggested Banerjee was "fortunate" to be allowed to leave her hotel. A Bihar minister also criticized Banerjee's threat to surround the Election Commission's Delhi office, stating she had "lost her mind."
