Kolkata Hotel Fire: BJP Slams Mamata Banerjee's 'Insensitive' Response to the Tragedy

TOI.in / Apr 30, 2025, 12.41 PM IST

BJP has strongly criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee following a devastating hotel fire in central Kolkata that claimed at least 15 lives, including children. The incident occurred at the Rituraj Hotel in Burrabazar, and BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar accused the CM of "insensitivity" for attending a religious event in Digha while the tragedy unfolded. Majumdar condemned her silence and alleged that her focus on religious events over governance reflects a failure to protect citizens. The BJP has called for immediate relief efforts and accountability from the state government.#toibharat #KolkataHotelFire #MamataBanerjee #SukantaMajumdar #DilipGhosh #BJP #WestBengalPolitics #FireTragedy #BurrabazarFire #KolkataLatest
