The ruling Trinamool Congress and opposition BJP in West Bengal engaged in a war of words following Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's return from her 12-day tour of Spain and UAE. The BJP mocked Banerjee's trip, while the TMC questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign visit during the unrest in Manipur. The BJP accused the TMC of corruption, and the TMC spokesperson responded by stating that Banerjee is more trustworthy than Modi. Banerjee described her trip as successful, with major MoUs being signed.
