Tagging Mamata Banerjee, BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition Shubhendu Adhikari wrote, “This procession is a desperate attempt to divert attention from corruption and scams. The people of Bengal are intelligent and know that it is because of the efforts of the Sangeet Natak Akademi of the Central Government that Durga Puja has got UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status.
This process is @mamataofficial‘s desperate attempt to divert attention from the corruption & scandals.
Bengalis are smart people & realise that due to Sangeet Natak Akademi’s efforts (Central Govt Institution) Durga Puja received UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status. https://t.co/pjB1NQdXTL— Suvendu Adhikari • ারী (@SuvenduWB) September 1, 2022
Apart from this, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya has also organized a class on Mamta Banerjee taking out a grand procession to thank UNESCO. Malviya attacked the Bengal government saying that the truth is that he had no role in getting the award. This was due to the efforts of the Sangeet Natak Akademi, an institution under the Modi government.
