Many argued that retaining the designation of a constitutional office after demitting power could be misleading and may amount to impersonation. Screenshots of the account bio were widely circulated, with users calling the description \u201cillegal\u201d and \u201cmisleading.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>
The online backlash also gained traction because Banerjee had earlier refused to step down as Chief Minister despite the electoral defeat, claiming that the election had been \u201crigged\u201d and insisting that her party had not truly lost the mandate. Reports said she alleged large-scale manipulation and maintained that she had achieved a \u201cmoral victory.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>
According to reports, Banerjee had declared that she would not resign and challenged authorities to dismiss her instead, triggering a political and constitutional debate in the state.\u00a0<\/p>
Amid the growing controversy over the X profile, one user claimed the bio was later modified to describe Banerjee as the \u201c15,16 & 17 Vidhan Sabha CM\u201d instead of the sitting Chief Minister. However, demands for action against the account continued online.<\/p>
