Cooch Behar: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s scathing attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a rally in Cooch Behar (West Bengal) are presented here with a new format and powerful headlines:
Addressing a public rally in Cooch Behar during the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election campaign, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised serious questions about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s activism. Kharge sarcastically asked why the Prime Minister is more inclined towards the streets of Bengal than the power of Delhi.
Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that the Prime Minister has been busy with election rallies and roadshows in West Bengal, abandoning his official duties for a long time. He alleged that as the head of the country, he should be discharging his responsibilities, not focusing all his energy on a single state election.
During the rally, Kharge asked in a direct tone, “Does Modiji now want to become the Chief Minister of West Bengal or does he want to remain the Prime Minister?” He said that the Prime Minister’s behavior is affecting the administrative work of the country.
As the Bengal elections draw closer, the war of words is intensifying. Kharge’s statement could further escalate tensions between the BJP and Congress, as the BJP has also described the Prime Minister’s visits as part of development and outreach .
