BJP Trolls Mamata Banerjee’s ‘8 PM Curfew’ as Indian Women’s Team Wins Historic World Cup!
Indian women’s cricket team clinched their first-ever ODI World Cup title, triggering celebrations and pride across the nation. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to X (formerly Twitter) to hail the victory, expressing that the team’s fighting spirit would inspire more young girls to pursue sports. However, her congratulatory post quickly drew a sharp response from the BJP’s state unit, which recalled Banerjee’s earlier advice urging girls to return home by 8 pm after a medical student was attacked in Durgapur. The BJP commented, “OMG they were playing till 12! But you had told them to be home by 8!!,” highlighting the contradiction and reigniting debate over her previous remarks.
