While addressing an election rally in Goghat under the Arambagh Lok Sabha constituency, the West Bengal Chief Minister has recently claimed, that monks of the RK mission, are under BJP’s influence and are following New Delhi’s order. Thus, triggering controversy.
“Some monks of Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha are working under the influence of BJP leaders in Delhi. Those who are looking after temples are doing great spiritual jobs, but everyone is not doing so. This is not done.” said Banerjee at election rally.
Meanwhile, PM Modi while responding to Mamta Bannerjee said, that TMC is now crossing all its limits by spreading false information against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha.
“The TMC has gone beyond its limits by spreading canards against ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha. West Bengal Chief Minister (Mamata Banerjee) is threatening them. They are threatening them just to appease their vote bank.” said PM Modi at Purulia Rally.

With controversy already on the boil, these claims have now triggered response from people of political circles.
Bengal’s BJP Chief Sukanta Majumdar, was first to respond to Banerjee’s allegations, saying
“Her delusional rants are a travesty for the people of Bengal….Mamata Banerjee’s recent attack on ISKCON, RKM, & Bharat Sevashram Sangh hits a new low. She accuses them of threatening India’s future, claims RKM is campaigning for the BJP via WhatsApp. As the CM, her delusional rants are a travesty for the people of Bengal.”
Moreover, BJP It Cell Chief Amit Malviya too subsequently responded to Mamta’s claims.
Taking to X, he said
“Seems Mamata Banerjee lied yesterday regarding revered Kartik Maharaj of the Bharat Sevashram Sangh. Sangh will now approach the High Court against her for maligning Hindu saints. Sangh helped protect Hindu lives during Bengal’s bloody anti-CAA riots. No wonder TMC is mad at them! Hindu organisations will also launch protest against Mamata Banerjee across Bengal for targeting ISKCON, Bharat Sevashram Sangh and Ramakrishna Mission”.
Later, he questioned Mamta Bannerjee saying
“Will Mamata Banerjee dare to speak a word against Mohammad Yahya, Chairman of the Bengal Imam Association, who is openly urging Muslims to band together and vote for the TMC? She is preaching neutrality and secularism to Hindu organisations. Will she dare to give similar sermons to her vote-bank?”
