Within 24 hours of Amit Shah's repeated complaints about West Bengal's "backwardness" in India, Mamata Banerjee retaliated by saying that the Union Home Minister had lied. Although the state BJP claims, all the information is documented to the government.

On Monday, first at Navanne and later at the opening ceremony of the Christmas festivities at Allen Park on Park Street, the chief minister alleged that Shah had come to the state and served completely untrue information. Mamata claimed that she would refute every allegation of Shah with counter-information. The BJP also countered, saying the party was ready for debate.

On Sunday, Amit Shah called for a 'golden Bengal' to change the 'backward' state and complained that Bengal was lagging behind in terms of GDP, industry, foreign investment, road infrastructure and urban development. On this day, Mamata said in Navanne, ‌ ‘(Shah) has told some lies. Garbage of Lies. He says we are zero in the industry. We are number one in MSME. He is also number one in building rural roads. It's not mine, the center information. I will tell Amitji that you are the Home Minister. It doesn't suit you. Your team is teaching you something bad or false, you say it without verification! Please verify before saying. I have all the information that you said yesterday. I will say after the cabinet meeting tomorrow.

In the evening, the Chief Minister went to Allen Park from Navanna but did not let the ruling party of the Center stop him. There, he said, ‘the state is number one in many respects. Why are you lying to people so much? Tell the truth. Some people are jealous. They cannot keep the country united. They only know how to divide the country and the law. 'State BJP spokesperson Shamik Bhattacharya responded, "This is official information. Give counter information. They will be debated in the future. That is the sign of a healthy democracy. ” At the same time, he remarked, "Society does not expect the Chief Minister to use the language in which he is attacking.

The Union Home Minister has taken a strategy to corner the Mamata-Sarkar government before the Assembly polls, alleging that many people are deprived of the people of the state by keeping their distance from the Center. For now, the chief minister wants to prove him 'wrong' administratively. Later, this issue will come to the center of the BJP-Trinamool conflict.

The BJP has been harassing Mamata's government for not launching central projects since the last Lok Sabha polls. On Sunday, Amit Shah also accused the state of indifference towards the Centre's 'Krishakbandhu' project.
