BJP to file FIR; tells CM Mamata to act as TMC MP unleashes foul attack on FM Sitharaman

All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee raised a fresh controversy after he compared Nirmala Sitharaman to 'a snake' and labeled her as the 'most useless finance minister of the country'. Banerjee made the remarks at Bankura on Saturday, following which the BJP has hit back.

The BJP has stated that it would file a FIR, with Rahul Sinha saying that the language in the attack resembles that of Mamata Banerjee. He said that the Trinamool chief, being a woman, should condemn this and act against her subordinate. He added that the Trinamool has no issues to complain about, but is jealous of the packages being announced by the FM.
