‘Bengal’s identity is not from Kaaba, but from Maa Kalibari’… CM Yogi roared in Jorasanko, cornered Mamata Banerjee on corruption and unemployment.
Lucknow/Kolkata. Amidst the election atmosphere in West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while addressing his first public meeting in Jorasanko, Kolkata on Wednesday, launched a scathing attack on Trinamool Congress and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He claimed that the BJP’s “saffron flag” will fly in the state when the election results are declared on May 4.
A large number of supporters had reached the meeting with posters written “Yogi ji bring bulldozer, we are with you”. The Chief Minister said that BJP is going to win about 80 percent seats in the first phase of voting to be held on April 23 and the wave of change is clearly visible in the state. He said that “no one can play with the identity of Maika Lal Bengal” and appealed to the public to use their vote properly.
Yogi alleged that TMC people are playing with Bengali identity. He said that “Bengal is not identified with Kaaba, but with Maa Kalibari.” He also targeted Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee in gestures, calling them “aunt and nephew” and said that they are weakening the existence of the state.
Referring to Rabindra Nath Tagore’s Thakurbari located at Jorasanko, the Chief Minister said that this area is a symbol of the cultural identity of Bengal. He alleged that where there should have been pictures of Gurudev and Bharat Mata, TMC workers forcibly placed the picture of Mamata Banerjee, which is an insult to the identity of Bengal. Yogi also raised questions on the economic condition of the state. He said that once people from all over the country used to come to Bengal for employment, but now the situation has changed.
According to him, over the years thousands of industries and MSME units have been closed and lakhs of youth have become unemployed. In his address, Yogi Adityanath also mentioned the “law and order model” of Uttar Pradesh. He said that before 2017 there was anarchy in UP, but now the state is in a situation of “no curfew, no riot” and religious and cultural programs are being held peacefully.
He said that after taking strict action against the mafia, houses for the poor have been built on their properties. At the end of the meeting, the Chief Minister appealed to vote in favor of Vijay Ojha from Jorasanko, Tapas Roy from Maniktala, Santosh Pathak from Chowringhee, Purnima Chakraborty from Shyampukur, Parth Chaudhary from Beleghata and Priyanka Tibrewal from Entali. He said only a “double engine government” can safeguard both development and heritage and the time has come to make Bengal ‘Sonar Bangla’ again.
