The Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, criticised Mamata for being a 'self-centered megalomaniac' for claiming she referred to“I, me, myself, mine” 76 times in just 9 minutes and 26 seconds speech to junior doctors near Swasthya Bhawan.

“That's how much CM Mamata Banerjee referred to and boasted about herself while addressing the Junior Doctors yesterday, when she visited their makeshift camp near Swasthya Bhawan. This is her personality all about, it's all about herself. She is a self centric megalomaniac. That's why it's extremely difficult to find a solution to end the deadlock amicably,” the BJP leader said in a post on X.

The following comments by Adhikari arrived as the state government is trying to end a deadlock on protests by junior doctors in Kolkata against the gruesome rape and murder of the medical student on 9 August.
