State industry minister Shashi Panja, in a statement on X, said, "A bitter pill for BJP to swallow! For years, they've run a one-sided smear campaign painting Bengal as 'industry-averse.' But now, data from their own ministry blows their lies to pieces." "In the last six years (up to 31 July 2025), 44,040 companies were incorporated in Bengal, while only 1,742 companies shifted their registered offices out of the state. Under CM Mamata Banerjee, Bengal has witnessed a wave of development the BJP can't match. So, they resort to peddling lies, half-truths, and propaganda to hide their own miserable record," it added. BJP's Amit Malviya, citing the numbers, on X wrote: "Registering an office is not the same as running a thriving industry. The real story is written in boarded-up factories, fleeing companies, collapsing investor confidence, and Bengal's plunge from industrial pride to economic cautionary tale under Mamata Banerjee."
