TMC Means 'Too Much Corruption': BJP's Jibe At Mamata's Party over Jawahar Sircar’s Resignation

New Delhi: After Rajya Sabha MP Jawahar Sircar announced his decision to quit the Trinamool Congress , Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) on Sunday said that the lawmaker’s resignation points towards the “dirt, corruption and dictatorial attitude” prevailing within Mamata Banerjee ’s party. BJP also called TMC - ‘Too Much Corruption’ party. 

"The letter by Jawahar Sircar, TMC MP, exposes dirt, corruption and dictatorial attitude within the TMC . TMC means 'too much corruption,” BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said. 

“It indicates that every institution in West Bengal has been corroded with corruption by the Mamata Banerjee government and those who raise the issue are heckled and silenced,” he added. 

Earlier today, Sircar informed Banerjee of his decision to resign from the Rajya Sabha and withdraw from politics. He cited corruption among certain leaders of his party, the Trinamool Congress ( TMC ), and the lack of action taken against them as key factors in his decision.

Poonawalla said the TMC MP's letter to Banerjee also reveals that her government's priority in the Kolkata medic rape-and-murder case "was not nyay (justice) for beti (the daughter)".

‘How Can Mamata Continue?’ Asks BJP

"The only question is how can Mamata Banerjee continue? Should she not resign?" Poonawalla asked, adding, "Instead of resigning, she protects CP Kolkata , Sandip Ghose, and others. Why?" The BJP spokesperson also targeted the Congress , asking why party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are still silent on the trainee doctor's rape-and-murder case.

The TMC government in West Bengal has faced severe criticism following the tragic death of a trainee doctor, which sparked widespread protests and led to a CBI investigation into both the murder and financial irregularities at the hospital. The incident resulted in the arrest of a Kolkata Police civic volunteer and prompted extensive demonstrations by doctors and citizens, all calling for justice and accountability. The Calcutta High Court later instructed the CBI to investigate both the murder and the financial misconduct at the institution.
