He launched a scathing attack on chief minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of promoting a culture of political impunity and disrespect towards women, following a controversial remark allegedly made by Trinamul Congress (TMC) strongman Anubrata Mondal. The BJP leader's remarks came a day after a video surfaced in which Mondal, a senior TMC leader from Birbhum district and a close aide of the chief minister, was purportedly heard using explicit language directed at a police officer, including insults aimed at the officer's mother and sister. Majumdar said the incident was emblematic of what he described as the "failure of the chief minister and her appeasement politics."

He further alleged that the chief minister had already insulted Hindu women nationwide by her recent remarks about sindoor (vermilion), which he described as "deeply disrespectful and culturally insensitive."
