Mamata visited hills like a ‘tourist’, paid no heed development, says Suvendu

Suvendu Adhikari, a prominent BJP leader, accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of visiting the hill areas more like a tourist than a leader, neglecting much-needed development. He pledged that his party would withdraw all false cases against the Gorkha community and revive 25 tea gardens in North Bengal with a ₹330-crore package under the PM Cha Samriddhi Yojana. This comes amid growing discontent over the state's development priorities, highlighting a political battle over regional development and governance.
