Naqvi also did not mince any words when it came to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He accused her of doing nothing besides "criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi" as well as the BJP-led centre. In a recent statement, the West Bengal Chief Minister evoked both 'Mahabharata' to hit out at archrival BJP calling BJP a "party of Dussasanas". Continuing to voice her opposition to the proposed country-wide NRC, she also wondered whether the BJP-led government at the Centre would throw her out of the country because she do not have her mother's birth certificate.
