Kalyan Banerjee Mimics VP Dhankhar Again, BJP Hits Back At TMC MP
Last week, a huge political storm erupted after Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee mimicked Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar inside the Parliament premises, and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was seen filming the TMC leader on his phone. On Sunday (December 24), the TMC MP once again imitated Dhankhar while talking at an event and said he would continue miming him, terming it an ‘art form’. Banerjee said that he would do it a thousand times and that it’s his fundamental right.
BJP hits out at TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee
Talking to reporters in Odisha, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan hit out at TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee for mimicking Vice-President of India and Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar. The Union Minister said, “No one is jailed for being uncultured. Backed by Mamata Banerjee, arrogance is at its peak in TMC. If they mock a constitutional post, a farmer’s son, or someone from a backward caste, they will not be jailed, but the people will never forgive them… This ‘ghamandiya’ alliance cannot accept Modi’s government popularity.”
Once again, Kalyan Banerjee mimicked Jagdeep Dhankhar
While addressing a political meeting at his Lok Sabha constituency Serampore, Banerjee asserted that PM Narendra Modi was the first to perform mimicry inside the Lok Sabha. While on stage, the TMC leader imitated PM Modi, saying, “He did that, and we smiled. No exceptions were made.”
Kalyan Banerjee said he will continue to mimic VP
Highlighting that “Mimicry is an art form” the TMC leader further said, “What can I do if someone does not understand art? I am helpless if someone does not understand humour, if someone does not have a cultured mind, if someone identifies himself as the target,” without naming Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Banerjee said. “I’ll keep doing the mimicry. It’s a form of art. I’ll do it a thousand times if necessary. I have every fundamental right to express myself. You can jail me. I will not back down,” he continued.
Additionally, he said, “I’m not sure why you think it’s about you; he’s crying from day to night. Why is he sobbing like a child?” the Trinamool MP then mimicked a child whining to his mother about someone mocking Dhankhar.
Jagdeep Dhankhar called TMC MP mimicking a ‘shameful’ act
In response to Banerjee’s mimicry, Dhankhar said the Trinamool MP’s ‘shameful’ act of mimicking had pained him and insulted him as a farmer’s son from the Jat community. He also criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for filming Banerjee’s performance. Later, Jagdeep Dhankhar issued a statement saying he would not allow any insult to Parliament or the position of vice president.
A complaint was filed against Kalyan Banerjee in Delhi
Following the mimicking incident, a complaint was filed against Kalyan Banerjee at the Delhi police station. According to South Delhi’s Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), the complaint was forwarded by an advocate named Abhishek Gautam at the Defence Colony Police station.

‘Duaon Mein Yaad Rakhna’: Cancer-Stricken SP Leader Muzibur Rahman’s Last Message In WhatsApp Group Before Shooting Himself In Lucknow
Lucknow: Muzaiburrahman Bablu, former city president of the Samajwadi Party (SP), died by suicide at his residence in Maulviganj, around 10:30 AM on Friday. The SP leader, who had been battling cancer, used his licensed revolver to take his own life.
Moments before his death, Bablu sent a poignant message in a WhatsApp group that read, “Duaon mein yaad rakhna” (Remember me in your prayers). The sound of the gunshot drew neighbours to the scene, where they found the SP leader in a critical condition.
Those who knew him were aware of his illness, but none expected him to take such a drastic step. According to close associates, Bablu had been suffering from both physical and mental distress for an extended period, which ultimately led to this tragic decision.
The Samajwadi Party expressed their grief over Bablu’s death through their official account on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “The demise of Lucknow’s former city president Muzaiburrahman Bablu ji is extremely sad. May God grant peace to his soul and our deepest condolences to the bereaved family.”
Following the news of his death, numerous party workers gathered at Bablu’s residence. After being alerted, the cops reached the spot.
The police recovered the body and sent it for a post-mortem examination.

Future City to compete with global cities: Telangana CM
Hyderabad, Jan 10: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said on Friday that Future City proposed to be developed near Hyderabad will compete with international cities like New York, London, Seoul, Tokyo and Dubai.
Addressing the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) National Council meeting here, he said the government has decided to build fourth city that is Future City in Hyderabad. “We want to build the greatest city in India. It will be pollution-free Net zero and services sector oriented,” he said.
Asserting that Telangana State completed 10 years, he said that the government now has a much bigger dream of the development of Telangana and it is “Telangana Rising”.
The Chief Minister said Hyderabad was being developed as a city to deal with natural disasters. Measures have been initiated to make Hyderabad pollution-free city. As part of these efforts, polluting vehicles are being shifted beyond the Outer Ring Road.
Revanth Reddy said the government was focusing on promoting the automobile sector in Telangana. Registration and road tax are exempted for electric vehicles. Telangana has already registered the fastest sale of electric vehicles in India. A fleet of 3,200 electric buses will be added to the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation soon.
He told the CII representatives that the Musi Rejuvenation project will revive the water body and facilitate the flow of fresh water on a 55 km stretch in Hyderabad. The government has already started works which require meeting Hyderabad’s drinking water needs till 2050.
The Chief Minister said that a 360 km long Regional Ring Road (RRR) has been planned. The state government has requested the Centre to approve regional ring rail around the RRR. Radial roads connecting ORR and RRR are also being developed. The area between ORR and RRR will be developed as a hub for the manufacturing sector. Pharma, Life Sciences, Aerospace, Defence, EVs and solar industries will be set up here, he said.
He said since Telangana does not have a coastline, the government is planning to develop a Dry Port. A special road and railway connection with the Bandar port in Andhra Pradesh is also planned. Stating that the government’s vision is to strengthen the state economy, he invited investors to invest in the state.
He assured them that the government was creating an ecosystem with the highest ease of doing business. The Chief Minister told the industrialists that the state government has set up a special skill university for skill development. The government has constituted a Board with Anand Mahindra as its Chairman.
He appealed to the CII representatives to support the Skill University corpus fund. “We are also establishing a Sports University and a Sports Hub,” he added.

Drug peddling: ED raids cop’s residence, premises of suspected smugglers in Tripura
Agartala, Jan 10: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) sleuths on Friday conducted raids in Tripura and searched the residence of a police official and premises of several people allegedly involved in drug peddling and money laundering cases, sources said.
The sources said that the ED officials conducted the raids and examined documents and various papers of the persons allegedly involved in the drug business and money laundering.
These raids were mainly conducted in various places of three districts –West Tripura, South Tripura and Sepahijala.
Around 250 security personnel, including the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans, assisted the ED teams during the raids.
However, the ED has not given official confirmation about the findings of the raids.
According to the sources, the raids were conducted at the offices and residences of several key persons, who run the cross-border rackets from behind and so far remained untouched by the law enforcing agencies.
The ED teams reportedly scrutinise documents, digital evidence and other materials that could provide leads in dismantling the suspected nexus involving drug traffickers and financial offenders.
Though Tripura has become the most important producer of Ganja (marijuana) and a corridor for synthetic drugs like highly addictive methamphetamine tablets, this is the first time in Tripura that such major raids were conducted by the Central agency against the key drug players.
“In Agartala, the ED raided the houses of several illegal drug traders who have been doing the business engaging unemployed and smart semi-educated youths,” the sources said.
According to sources, the ED identified seven persons, including Dhruba Majumdar, an Assistant Sub-Inspector of Tripura Police, in the drug peddling racket. Majumdar is presently posted at the Crime Branch section under the office of the Superintendent of Police, South Tripura district and a resident at Baikhora.
According to the sources, some officials of Tripura Gramin Bank were also involved in the drug trafficking racket with some money trails linked to that bank.
The ED sleuths also summoned some Tripura Gramin Bank officials and questioned them early on Friday.
Meanwhile, just before the 2023 Tripura Assembly elections, the ED conducted raids in different places of West Tripura and Sepahijala districts as part of their investigation relating to drug trafficking cases and seized documents on bank deposits worth Rs 2 crore.
