Ranbir Kapoor Opens Up On Selling The Scale Of ‘Ramayana’

A witty one-liner has ignited a serious political storm in West Bengal. Samik Bhattacharya, in an exclusive interaction with TOI's Arghya Roychowdhury, said the BJP will “send fish” to Mamata Banerjee if it comes to power. The remark, loaded with cultural symbolism, quickly turned into a headline moment. But beyond the humour, Bhattacharya laid out an aggressive political roadmap. He described the election as a direct fight between people and the ruling leadership, predicting a BJP surge across the state. He alleged electoral irregularities, accused the TMC of vendetta politics, and flagged concerns over infiltration. At the same time, he promised continuity in welfare with expanded schemes and reforms in governance. With claims of sweeping North Bengal and crossing 175 seats, the BJP is projecting confidence. As rhetoric sharpens, Bengal’s political battleground is clearly heating up.
