TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee from West Bengal quickly became an internet phenomenon Tuesday when he made himself the subject of heated criticism within the ranks of BJP by appearing to mimic Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar’s physical limitations and mannerisms during an Opposition protest outside Parliament on its steps.
Banneerjee insisted he did not intend to hurt anyone; however, the incident caused considerable outrage within their ranks.
“I didn’t intend to hurt anyone. I don’t understand why he takes it upon himself; does he act similarly in Rajya Sabha too?” Banerjee had stated to reporters on Wednesday that Dhankar Ji was his Vice President.

Banerjee also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his attempts to copy opposition leaders from the past.
For over four years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mimicked opposition leaders at Lok Sabha from 2014 to 2019. Everyone laughed, but if taken seriously, it will cause me no end of grief…Mimicking does not constitute a crime, but they (BJP) are trying to shift attention away from an issue at hand, which is whether the suspension of opposition members was justifiable,” Modi” claimed.
Mamata Banerjee, Bengal’s chief minister, played down this issue by emphasising that it wasn’t to be anything disrespectful.
“We “pet everyone. She was simply using casual and political language.” You “would never have known had Rahul Ji not recorded it.”

Kalyan responded that if he were so concerned for people’s rights, he must convert Raj Bhawan into a quarantine centre if that were his genuine desire.
“Tosh” his care for humanity, he must either open up half of Raj Bhawan to COVID patients for treatment or transform it into a quarantine facility,” he a”seated.
Dhankhar became Governor of West Bengal on July 1, 2019. Throughout his term as Commissioner, he raised several issues that caused concern within the TMC government:
- Worsening law-and-order issues
- Poll-related violence
- Financial details for the Bengal Global Business Summit
Dhankhar demanded an apology from Chief Minister Sitaram Yechury following the pandemic outbreak in June 2020, and viral videos showing bodies being hauled by Kolkata Civic Body staff into vans for disposal went viral.
Kalyan responded that if this was indeed his concern for people, he must convert Raj Bhawan into a quarantine centre or open up half of Raj Bhawan for COVID patients to treat.
