Mamata cuts short rally in own backyard after loudspeaker disruption
The Statesman
|April 26, 2026
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday was forced to cut short a public meeting in Bhowanipore, alleging disruption due to loudspeaker use by political opponents, in the run-up to the final phase of the Assembly elections.
The incident took place at Chakraberia Road near Swami Narayan Temple, where Banerjee, the Trinamul Congress candidate from the constituency, was addressing a gathering as part of her campaign outreach.
According to the Trinamul Congress, a rival political group began using high-volume microphones in close proximity to the venue, making it difficult for the Chief Minister to continue her speech.

Women may be physically weaker, but they are also the procreators of humanity. They carry life, nurture it, and sustain it. To deny them the right to feel airon their skin, to see nature's colours, to walk freely, is not protectionit is oppression. The guardianship imposed by men is not a gift; it is a theft of liberty
