Like Indiraji, People Won't Forgive PM Modi, Says Mamata Banerjee

"Indiraji apologised for the Emergency, but people did not forgive her.... Our PM has apologised for the farm laws, but people won't forgive him," the Trinamool chief said
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee - busy in Mumbai building a national profile and platform from which to challenge the BJP in the 2024 general election - took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the now-scrapped farm laws, declaring "the people won't forgive him".
The comment was part of a handful of noteworthy barbs from Ms Banerjee - aimed at the Congress and its claimed de facto position as the rallying point for opposition parties, and the BJP (over the drug case involving Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan) for being a "cruel and undemocratic party".
"Indiraji apologised for the Emergency, but people did not forgive her.... Our PM has apologised for the farm laws, but people won't forgive him," the Trinamool chief said.
The comment seemed to flip an attack by Prime Minister Modi on the Congress in June, in which he condemned the party for "a systematic destruction of institutions" that "can never be forgotten".
