Abhishek Banerjee Criticizes Ritabrata Camp at July 21 Rally
Abhishek Banerjee, a leader in the Trinamool Congress, held a big rally in Kolkata on July 21.
He used a not-so-nice word, 'BC' which means 'pillow lickers', to talk about a group led by someone named Ritabrata Banerjee.
Abhishek said this group is not the real Trinamool Congress.
He also said that his rally had many more people than the other group's event, showing that his group has more support.
The other group probably thinks they are the real Trinamool and have their own supporters.
Abhishek Banerjee indirectly used the derogatory term 'BC' (Balish Chata - pillow lickers) to refer to the Ritabrata Banerjee camp.
He asserted that the Ritabrata camp is not the 'real' Trinamool Congress.
Banerjee highlighted the massive turnout at his rally as proof of the TMC's strength.
He criticized the Ritabrata camp's event, saying even a JCB machine at work in a village draws more crowd than their rally.
The event aimed to draw a sharp line between the two factions of the Trinamool Congress.
