Rahul Gandhi Attacks Modi and Mamata in WB Elections 2026 Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader, launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during a rally in Kolkata on Saturday, accusing both of implementing similar policies in their respective states. The event, held at the Shahid Minar, was attended by 55 Congress candidates contesting the state assembly elections. Gandhi criticized Modi for failing to deliver on his 2014 promise of creating 2 crore jobs, while accusing Mamata of mismanaging the state’s economy and failing to address unemployment, with over 84 lakh youth remaining jobless. Gandhi also alleged that Mamata’s “misguided policies” had enabled the BJP to gain political ground in West Bengal. He further accused the central government of not investigating alleged corruption within the TMC, citing the 2017 I-PAC case and the 2020 Supreme Court ruling. “Modi and the BJP are targeting Congress, but they are not challenging Mamata directly,” Gandhi said, emphasizing that the BJP’s attacks on him were part of a broader strategy to undermine the opposition. The TMC swiftly responded, condemning Gandhi’s remarks as “unethical” and accusing the Congress of attempting to divert attention from the state government’s alleged misconduct. Mamata’s office claimed the Election Commission had acted unfairly by removing several officials from the electoral process without prior consultation, calling it a “violation of established procedures.” The Commission, however, defended its actions, stating that officials involved in the election process would no longer be assigned any duties related to the polls.#rahul_gandhi #mamata_banerjee #west_bengal #narendra_moddi #shahid_minar
