Taking to X, the TMC slammed Singh, calling his comments and gestures "inappropriate".

"It's evident that the BJP leaders find it incredibly hard to fathom a woman in power challenging their authority. Their archaic mindset, steeped in gender biases, is blatantly on display," they said.

Later, Singh said that his comments had been misinterpreted, and claimed that the TMC were trying to "create confusion" over the issue.

"I have said that Mamata didi, the state that is suffering from corruption and where the rights of the poor are being snatched, you're making 'Jashn' there. Is saying 'Jashn' similar to 'thumka'?" he told news agency ANI.
