Rahul Gandhi Accuses Mamata of Helping the Rich in Bengal, Modi Doing the Same Nationwide

On April 25, 2026, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on both West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rahul Gandhi stated that Mamata was favoring the rich over the poor in Bengal, and similarly, Modi was pursuing the same policies across the country. His comments come amidst the ongoing political discourse in West Bengal, where the ruling TMC government has faced allegations of prioritizing the wealthy over marginalized communities.

In his statement, Rahul Gandhi highlighted that both Mamata Banerjee and Narendra Modi were working towards helping the affluent, rather than addressing the issues faced by the poor and downtrodden in their respective regions. He criticized the political leadership for their failure to uplift the underprivileged, pointing out that their policies reflected the interests of the elite rather than the common people.

Rahul Gandhi's remarks echo a growing discontent among opposition parties who have been vocal about the ruling party's focus on benefiting big corporations and wealthy individuals. His criticism aims to resonate with voters as both leaders prepare for upcoming elections.
