Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee took to X to post the clipping of Shah’s rally and said, “PM and HM speak about Nari Shakti. They posture on women’s empowerment and perform outrage for the cameras… But their conduct tells a different story. The PM publicly mocks a woman CM with ‘Didi O Didi,’ delivered with visible condescension. The home minister echoes it with ‘Eyy Didi,’ reducing a respected neta to a taunt. This is the ‘poriborton’ BJP seeks to import into Bengal from UP and Bihar. It is not change, it is a regression in values. (This is) an insult to Bengal, an insult to the woman in this state and across India.”
