Trinamool Congress (TMC) General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee strongly responded to remarks by BJP leader Amit Malviya over the Election Commission of India (ECI) decision to order fresh polling in the Falta Assembly constituency, defending what he described as the "Diamond Harbour model crumbles".
Mr. Banerjee, who also represents Diamond Harbour in Lok Sabha, on Saturday (May 2, 2026) criticised the BJP and challenged the "Bangla Birodhi Gujarati gang" to contest from Falta.
