‘How Dare You Didi’: Himanta On Mamata’s ‘If Bengal Burns, So Will Assam’ Remark

New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's recent warning that unrest in West Bengal could lead to broader chaos across multiple states has sparked a strong reaction from Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. 

Banerjee had cautioned, “If you burn Bengal, then the North East, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and other states will also face the flames.”

In response, Sarma condemned Banerjee’s remarks, stating, “Didi, how dare you threaten Assam? Don’t show us red eyes. Don’t even try to burn India with your politics of failure. It does not suit you to speak divisive language.” Sarma's comments reflect a growing tension and a broader political debate over the handling of unrest and regional issues.
