Crossed all limits: PM Modi slams TMC over insult to President during Bengal visit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the ruling All India Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal after President Droupadi Murmu expressed displeasure over arrangements during her visit to the state, calling the episode “shameful and unprecedented”.

In a post on X, Modi said the remarks made by the President had saddened people across the country, particularly those who believe in the empowerment of tribal communities.

“This is shameful and unprecedented. Everyone who believes in democracy and the empowerment of tribal communities is disheartened,” the Prime Minister wrote.

Reacting to the remarks, PM Modi said the incident



reflected poorly on the state government and hurt the dignity of the President’s office.

“The pain and anguish expressed by Rashtrapati Ji, who herself hails from a tribal community, has caused immense sadness in the minds of the people of India,” he wrote.

“The TMC Government of West Bengal has truly crossed all limits. Their administration is responsible for this insult to the President,” Modi added.

He also criticised the state government over its approach towards tribal culture.

“It is equally unfortunate that a subject as important as Santal culture is treated so casually by the West Bengal Government,” the Prime Minister wrote.
