She wrote, “There has been a post circulating on Twitter, Insta and WhatsApp regarding me. And I would like to clarify that several statements made in that post are incorrect and misleading. The song in question is a Bengali song, composed many years ago and inspired by an Arabic tune. I have been performing it for over two decades purely as a musical rendition.”

About TMC’s Defeat In The Assembly elections

In West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party secured a significant victory with 207 seats in the 294-member Assembly. This ended the Trinamool Congress’s uninterrupted 15-year rule. TMC chief Mamata Banerjee later refused to resign as Chief Minister. This led to a constitutional grey area and political tension in the state. The TMC’s seat count dropped to 80 from 215, with Mamata herself losing her seat. Despite this, celebrations erupted among many who saw the party’s defeat as a significant political shift.
