At Bengal poll rally, PM attacks TMC over Malda judicial officers' gherao, calls it 'maha jungleraj'

Business To Business, Kolkata, 05 April 2026: PM Narendra Modi sharply criticized the All India Trinamool Congress during an election rally.
The remarks were made in Cooch Behar, ahead of upcoming elections.
The criticism relates to an incident in Malda where:

  • Judicial officers were allegedly gheraoed (surrounded) by a mob for hours
Modi described it as:
  • A sign of “maha jungleraj” (breakdown of law and order)
He accused the ruling TMC government of:
  • Failing to protect judicial officials
  • Undermining law and order
  • Being “hell-bent” on damaging constitutional systems

  • A government unable to protect judges cannot ensure public safety
This is part of broader campaign messaging targeting governance and security issues in West Bengal.
These are political allegations made during an election rally.
Such statements are typically:
  • Strongly worded
  • Intended to influence voters
Full understanding requires:
  • Official reports on the Malda incident
