Banerjee accused the BJP-led state government of reducing beneficiaries in women's financial aid schemes based on religion and race. She also blamed the BJP for orchestrating vandalism during student clashes at Jadavpur University and plans to challenge alleged illegal voter deletions in the Supreme Court.
