During his address, the Prime Minister had highlighted five areas of concern—law and order, women's safety, youth disillusionment, corruption, and what he termed a "selfish" state government. However, Trinamul leaders were quick to respond, accusing the Modi government of presiding over national failures in the very areas he sought to critique.

Responding to the PM's reference to law and order, the TMC cited the ongoing crisis in Manipur. "Manipur has been burning for two years. Fix your mess first," the party posted on its social media handle. On the issue of women's safety, they pointed to incidents such as those in Unnao and Hathras, accusing the BJP of a "track record soaked in silence and shame".
