Union Minister of State and former West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Sukanta Majumdar on Thursday (November 27, 2025) faced protests at Diamond Harbour by a group of persons dressed in saffron and who identified themselves as BJP supporters.
While the Trinamool Congress called the protests an internal feud of BJP, Mr. Majumdar said that those protesting were Trinamool Congress supporters disguised as BJP workers.
“They are standing on the streets, dressed as BJP workers, wearing saffron turbans around their necks and tilaks on their foreheads, and are protesting! The person seen wearing saffron turbans in the picture is Raju, the Trinamool Congress leader from Diamond Harbour area,” Mr. Majumdar said on social media. The BJP MP also posted a photograph of a person who was leading the protest at a Trinamool Congress party office and said that he had joined the State’s ruling party.
The Trinamool Congress claimed that supporters of BJP leader Dilip Ghosh were protesting against Mr. Majumdar, as their internal war exploded on the streets of Diamond Harbour.
“A party that can’t control its own leaders… A party whose workers revolt against their own bosses… And they dare talk about “fixing” Bengal?” the Trinamool Congress said.
