TMC MP Derek O'Brien and other leftist-liberals predicted that the BJP would lose in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, but Modi returned to power with an even larger mandate than in 2014
Mahua Moitra said that she is ashamed that PM Modi bowed to the Adheenam seers in the new parliament during the ceremony where the Sengol was handed over.
The family alleged that local leaders of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) threatened them and asked them to remain silent on the issue and not speak about the matter. TMC has denied involvement.
