West Tripura MP Biplab Kumar Deb promises to free West Bengal from political “demons,” criticizing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for corruption and lawlessness. He urges public action in the next elections to restore governance and order in the state.
West Tripura Lok Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb on Tuesday made a forceful statement, asserting that West Bengal would soon be liberated from the so-called “demons” enjoying political patronage under the current state government. Deb, who visited the Jay Maa Kali Santan Sangha temple at Indranagar, addressed the media, highlighting what he described as a collapse of law and order in the state under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Speaking passionately, Deb said, “West Bengal is a state where the value of human life is totally absent. People are being murdered, raped, and assaulted randomly. The law and order is in complete disarray. And all these things are happening even when Bengal has a woman Chief Minister at the helm. I see a demon in her.”
Deb did not mince words in his criticism of the Chief Minister’s approach, claiming it defied the traditional understanding of womanhood in Indian society. “A woman in Indian society is expected to exhibit motherly care and kindness. But this appears to be an exceptional case. It seems like she doesn’t have a fully functional heart,” he said, adding provocatively that due to her actions, no woman in the country would dare to name their female child after her.
Highlighting the state of public sentiment in Bengal, Deb alleged widespread corruption and misgovernance. “Corruption in Bengal is at its peak. Land mafias roam scot-free. For instance, in Kalighat, 32 properties were purchased by relatives of the Chief Minister. I have been traveling extensively across Bengal for my party assignment, and I have realized that the public is ready to teach the ruling class a tight lesson,” he stated.
Deb expressed confidence that the upcoming elections would see a dramatic political shift in the state. “I hope the sacred land of Bengal will be free of all demons in the next elections,” he said, reiterating his promise of political change.
The MP’s comments come at a time when Bengal has been witnessing heightened political polarization. Issues related to law and order, alleged corruption, and political violence have frequently dominated news cycles. Deb’s statements add fuel to the ongoing political discourse, particularly as the state gears up for the next assembly elections.
Political analysts note that such rhetoric, especially targeting the Chief Minister on both governance and personal grounds, is designed to energize party cadres and consolidate voter sentiment against the ruling government. “Statements like these reflect the BJP’s strategy to position itself as the alternative to the ruling TMC by highlighting lawlessness and corruption. Whether it resonates with the average voter, however, remains to be seen,” said a senior political commentator.
The Jay Maa Kali Santan Sangha temple, where Deb offered his prayers before addressing the media, has been a site for several political leaders to seek blessings before undertaking party assignments or election campaigns. Deb’s visit to the temple and subsequent media briefing underline the blending of religious symbolism with political messaging, a tactic often observed in Indian electoral politics.
As Bengal prepares for its upcoming elections, statements like Deb’s are likely to intensify political debates and media coverage. While supporters of the BJP see his remarks as a bold critique of misgovernance, critics argue that personal attacks and demonizing political opponents may further polarize the state.

With the elections drawing nearer, West Bengal remains a high-stakes political battleground. Both ruling and opposition parties are ramping up campaigns, focusing on issues ranging from law and order to economic development, governance, and public welfare. Deb’s comments are expected to remain a talking point among party workers and voters alike in the weeks to come.
