BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya tweeted, “Our national anthem is one of the most powerful manifestations of our national identity. The least people holding public office can do is not demean it. Here is a mutilated version of our national anthem sung by Bengal CM. Is India’s opposition so bereft of pride and patriotism?”

National President of BJP Yuva Morcha, Tejasvi Surya tweeted, “Here we have a Chief Minister, who fails to respect our National Anthem. Expecting the opposition parties to respect Bharat and its values is a lot to ask for these days. This deplorable behaviour from a Constitutional Authority is extremely shameful and condemnable.”

Meanwhile, a leader of Mumbai BJP has filed a police complaint against Mamata for “showing utter disrespect to the national anthem” by singing it while in a sitting position and then “abruptly stopping after 4 or 5 verses”.
On her three-day visit to Maharashtra, Mamata has met state minister Aditya Thackeray, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar. She was also going to meet CM Uddhav Thackeray but due to health issues, he will not be able to meet the TMC supremo.
After meeting NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Wednesday, she called for an anti-BJP front. She further took a dig at the Congress saying, “What is UPA? There is no UPA.”
Responding to her statement, Congress leaders said the political party that continues to think about its gains and personal ambitions cannot take on BJP just by criticising Rahul Gandhi.
