Mamata Banerjee’s Laundry Day: During her two-day sit-in protest against the BJP-led union government for not allocating funding to the state, Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, on Wednesday used an outsized washing machine prop labeled ‘BJP’
In a video shared by the party’s official Twitter account, the TMC supremo can be seen performing the act of doing “laundry” in which she puts a “black cloth” into the washing machine and pulls a “white cloth” to represent how every corrupt person emerges “clean” after joining the saffron party. The party termed it the “magic of BJP washing machine”.
“Hon’ble CM @MamataOfficial calls out @BJP4India’s hypocrisy. Under BJP’s rule, the opposition is endlessly harassed by Central Agencies. But the minute an opposition leader joins the BJP, they become innocent as a lamb. That’s the magic of BJP WASHING MACHINE!,” TMC wrote.
Addressing to the gathering at the protest site, Banerjee said, “the so-called double-engine government has failed. BJP has turned into a washing machine. Those who do not know how to respect women, are now giving lectures about the Constitution.”
She added that all opposition parties “must fight unitedly against the BJP”.

Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the TMC, criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier in the day and demanded that he be disqualified in a manner “similar to that of Rahul Gandhi” for “hurting the sensibilities of women by his remarks against Mamata Banerjee.”
“I may not support Gandhi’s comment but I condemn the way he was disqualified from the Lok Sabha. In that case, why will the PM not be disqualified for hurting the sentiments of women by mocking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with his ‘Didi O Didi’ taunts during the 2021 assembly polls campaign?,” he said.
