Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J.P. Nadda on Wednesday targeted the Trinamool Congress (TMC), calling it a “Phishi-Bhaipho (aunt-nephew) party“, and pointed out that all “regional parties have turned into family parties”.
The “Phishi-Bhaipho” reference was to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and party general secretary and Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee.
Mr. Nadda, who is on a two-day trip to West Bengal, said Opposition parties from Jammu and Kashmir in the North to Karnataka and Telangana in the South to West Bengal in the East to Maharashtra in the West were “all regional parties being run by families”.
