BJP's Party Colours Being Used For Indian Cricket Jerseys, At Metro Stations: Mamata Banerjee

The BJP dubbed the allegations a "reflection of a vindictive approach".
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday accused the BJP-led central government of attempting to saffronise various institutions across the country, including the Indian cricket team, whose practice jerseys are now saffron-coloured.
Speaking at the inauguration of Jagadhatri Puja at Posta Bazar in central Kolkata, Ms Banerjee alleged that the BJP has introduced saffron colour not only in the practice jerseys of the cricket team but also in the painting of Metro stations.
She expressed her disapproval, stating, "They are trying to paint the entire country saffron. We are proud of our Indian players, and I believe they will be champions in the World Cup. But they (BJP) brought in saffron colours there as well, and our boys now practice in saffron-coloured jerseys. The Metro stations have been painted saffron. This is unacceptable."
