The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday (January 2, 2026) alleged that there was “maha jungle raj” in Trinamool Congress-ruled West Bengal, and that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had threatened Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Mamata raises questions on terror attacks in Delhi and Kashmir, demands Amit Shah’s resignation

Addressing a press conference, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said: “In West Bengal, we see how jungle raj is flourishing throughout under the patronage of Mamata Banerjee. Law and order have collapsed and she is unconcerned.”

‘Constitutional violation’

“A Chief Minister, who takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, threatens the Home Minister of India. She says ‘if I do not want it, the Home Minister of India cannot enter West Bengal’,” he alleged, adding that it was a “violation” of Article 19 of the Constitution.
