Cultural insensitivity: Mamata Banerjee jabs PM over Swami prefix for Ramakrishna

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Thursday took a sharp jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for alleged misappropriation in addressing Saint Ramakrishna Paramhansa's name. Through a post on X, Banerjee called the PM 'culturally insensitive.'

"Shocked again! Yet again, our Prime Minister aggressively displays his cultural insensitivity to great figures of Bengal. Today is the janmatithi of Yugavatara (God's incarnation in our age) Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsadeva. While trying to hail the great saint on this occasion, our PM added an unprecedented and improper prefix to the great saint's name, “Swami," she wrote on X.
