Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee lashed out at Prime Minister Modi alleging that he failed to predict Russia’s decision to launch special military actions inside Ukraine.

Amidst the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee addressed a public rally in Varanasi on Wednesday in support of the Samajwadi Party. 

Addressing the rally, TMC chief Mamata Banerjee attacked Prime Minister Modi, saying there is a war going on in Ukraine, and Prime Minister Modi is having a meeting in Delhi. The West Bengal Chief Minister questioned the Modi government regarding the necessity of such emergency crisis meetings.

“If you have such good relations with Putin, then you already knew that war was going to happen, then why did not you bring Indian students?” asked Mamata Banerjee.

According to Banerjee, PM Modi failed to evacuate Indian nationals stranded in Ukraine despite having a close friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Mamata Banerjee welcomed with “Jai Shri Ram” slogans

On Wednesday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was welcomed in Varanasi by members of Hindu Yuva Vahini with loud chants of Jai Shri Ram.
