Claims TMC chief is 'nervous' about her fate in 2026 assembly polls
WEST Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee criticised the Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday for lack of planning at the Maha Kumbh, saying the spiritual gathering in Prayagraj has turned into "Mrityu Kumbh". The BJP brushed aside the criticism, claiming she is "nervous" about her fate in the 2026 assembly elections after seeing Arvind Kejriwal's "complete decimation" in Delhi.
Banerjee launched a broadside against the BJP in the ongoing assembly session over various issues but reserved the Kumbh arrangements for special attention.
