Kolkata, New Delhi, INDIA. New York, USA.
Business To Business, Cooch Behar, 02 January, 2026: BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty asserted on Friday that there are efforts underway to transform West Bengal into "West Bangladesh"; however, he believes these attempts will ultimately fail.
Speaking at a public gathering in Cooch Behar district, the Bollywood actor also took aim at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding her remarks about Union Home Minister Amit Shah, emphasizing that this is not a separate nation as she might perceive.
"During a public meeting in Bankura district, the Chief Minister issued a threat to the home minister of India, claiming that she permitted him to exit the hotel where he was residing in Kolkata. I wish she would explicitly state that the home minister will not be permitted in Bengal; that day will mark a significant downfall," he remarked.
