'Country and Nari Shakti will not forgive’: PM Modi criticises TMC for ‘insulting’ President Murmu

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has condemned the Trinamool Congress (TMC) for allegedly insulting President Droupadi Murmu, emphasizing that such remarks are an affront to the dignity of the nation's highest constitutional office. During a rally in West Bengal, Modi highlighted the importance of respecting the position of the President, especially given Murmu's background as the first tribal woman to occupy this role. He stated that both the country and the empowerment of women, referred to as 'Nari Shakti', would not overlook this disrespect. The Prime Minister's comments come amid heightened political tensions in West Bengal, where the TMC has faced criticism for various governance issues. Modi's remarks aim to rally support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the region while addressing issues of dignity and respect in political discourse. This incident reflects the ongoing rivalry between the BJP and TMC, particularly as both parties gear up for upcoming electoral challenges in the state, where the BJP has been attempting to establish a stronger foothold after a series of electoral defeats.
