# Mamata Offers Shelter to Helpless People from Bangladesh Amid Unrest
Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, speaking at her Martyrs’ Day rally in Kolkata on Sunday, took aim at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA government at the Centre, forecasting its imminent downfall despite securing a third consecutive term in the Lok Sabha elections.
Sharing the platform with Samajwadi Party stalwart and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Mamata Banerjee asserted, “The BJP should have resigned by now, but they have no shame. I agree with him that the NDA government in Delhi, which has come to power through the use of central agencies and the Election Commission, is unstable and will collapse soon.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Akhilesh Yadav stated during the rally, “This government does not have a long future. It will collapse.”
Akhilesh Yadav and his Samajwadi Party made significant gains in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, securing 37 seats in the declared results on June 4th.
The remarks from Mamata Banerjee and Akhilesh Yadav reflect growing political tensions and predictions about the stability of the BJP-led coalition government at the national level.
Thouth, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also announced on Sunday that her state stands prepared to provide refuge to “helpless people” from Bangladesh, amidst ongoing violent protests in the neighboring country over government job reservations.
