The Trinamul has slammed the NCW for being a political wing of the BJP. Many of the ruling party leaders in Bengal have pointed out the double standards of the NCW and the Centre in their treatment towards Bengal.

In a strong rebuke to the National Commission for Women's (NCW) recent visit to violence-affected areas in West Bengal's Murshidabad, the Trinamul Congress has raised serious questions about the commission's neutrality and political motivations behind its narrative against Bengal.

TMC Rajya Sabha MP Saket Gokhale revealed that NCW member Archana Majumdar, who has been prominently featured in media reports talking about the visit, is a "card-carrying BJP worker" who contested the 2021 Bengal elections on a BJP ticket before losing the race.

"What Modi's PR agency won't tell you: This 'NCW member' Archana Majumdar contested the 2021 Bengal elections on a BJP ticket & lost. She's an active card-carrying BJP worker," Gokhale stated, adding, "NCW has long been a political wing of the BJP. And they aren't even good at hiding it."
