Reacting to Kolkata civic body's order cancelling Vishwakarma Puja holiday in Hindi medium schools run by it, BJP leader Amit Malviya said, "Welcome to [CM] Mamata Banerjee's Islamic Caliphate of West Bengal." He stated the order exposed Mamata's "anti-OBC" mindset. The order stated that the holiday was cancelled to extend Eid-ul-Fitar holiday from one day to two days.
