The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Bengal has taken aim at Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee for allegedly wearing a ??8,000? t-shirt during his visit to Cyclone Remal relief camps. The BJP described this as ?mocking the poor and aggrieved.?

Abhishek Banerjee, who also serves as the TMC's general secretary, inspected relief camps in South 24 Parganas set up for cyclone victims. Cyclone Remal recently caused heavy rain and widespread damage in various parts of the state.

In response to the BJP's criticism, the TMC accused the party of being indifferent to the suffering of Bengal's people, focusing instead on organizing a drone show in Kolkata ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit on Tuesday.

In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), the TMC stated, ?While BJP stays oblivious to the suffering of the people of Bengal and indulges in organising a drone show in Kolkata, Abhishek Banerjee visits relief camps to ensure that the people are receiving the necessary support to overcome Cyclone Remal.?

To counter this, the BJP's Bengal unit posted a picture comparing Banerjee's t-shirt from the visit and commented, "Abhishek Banerjee wears ?8,000 t-shirt while going for Cyclone Relief operations. Shame on TMC for mocking the poor and aggrieved."
