Well! as the election in West Bengal is nearing, the political parities have left no stone unturned to take a jibe at each other and using social media is the best way to reach wide range of audience.
The jibe goes to such an extent that the TMC called the BJP IT cell “brain dead, and numbskul.” Yes! you read it right, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) launched a sharp attack on the BJP IT Cell through a post on X.
The TMC post included a video showing monkeys typing on desktops to mock BJP social media workers calling them “brain-dead, half-witted, and numbskulls.”

The party accused BJP leaders of sneering at journalists while depending on “godi media” for selective headlines.

BJP Responds With Strong Counterattack
The BJP IT cell did step back in but responded with criticism. Attacking the TMC’s remark said, “Applying too much pressure on a shallow brain is dangerous to health.”
The party accused TMC of misusing funds, alleging that the West Bengal government allocated Rs 5,530.65 crore for madrasa education and minority affairs while only Rs 210 crore went to IT and Electronics.

The party said this showed misplaced priorities in governance and highlighted what it called “serious neglect” of the state’s digital development.

The online spat between TMC and BJP comes at a time when both parties are preparing for upcoming electoral challenges in West Bengal. The exchange of words reflects growing political hostility, with social media becoming a battleground for narrative-building.
TMC defended its focus on rain-related relief measures, while BJP questioned the state government’s policy choices. The sharp remarks and use of videos highlight how both parties are increasingly using satire, mockery, and data points to appeal to their respective supporters online. Analysts say the clash underscores how digital platforms have become central to political rivalries.
