"What Mamata Banerjee has said and done today is deeply unfortunate. This is an attack on a longstanding democratic convention. It is not an attack on the BJP but an attack on democracy and the constitution."
"The mandate has been looted. Where does the question of resignation arise? She said the TMC had been defeated not by public mandate but by conspiracy."
"The BJP has already moved to ban advisers appointed by Banerjee from entering their offices. The party's national spokesperson, Sambit Patra, called Banerjee's refusal to step down constitutional blasphemy."
Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal's chief minister, refuses to step down after her party lost state elections to BJP. She accuses the BJP of electoral fraud and calls for a constitutional crisis. Governor threatens to remove her if she doesn't resign, while BJP bans TMC advisers. Banerjee is seen as a powerful female politician and a street-fighting leader.
