Mamta Banerjee’s sharp attack on BJP, said in the rally – Even snakes can be trusted, but not them.
digital desk- Mamata Banerjee launched a sharp political attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party during an election rally on Friday. Addressing a rally organized at Tentulia in North 24 Parganas district, he made serious allegations on issues like BJP’s election strategy, impartiality of agencies and removal of names from the voter list. The Chief Minister claimed that the BJP did not trust the local voters in Assam, hence it allegedly included outsiders in the electoral process. He said that about 50,000 people from Uttar Pradesh were brought to Assam by train so that the electoral equations could be influenced. However, no official evidence has emerged to support these allegations.
The country’s agencies were not impartial – Mamata Banerjee
Mamta Banerjee targeted the central government and BJP and said that the major agencies of the country are no longer impartial. He alleged that institutional independence has weakened under the current regime and many agencies have been forced to work under political influence. In his speech, he made a sharp statement saying, “A snake can be trusted, but never the BJP.” After this statement of his, there is a sharp reaction in the political circles, because this statement is being seen as a serious allegation directly on the central government. In view of the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal, the political tension between TMC and BJP seems to be intensifying.
The issue of SIR was also raised prominently
During the rally, the Chief Minister also raised the issue of deletion of names from the voter list under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. He claimed that names of around 90 lakh voters have been removed from the list during this process in West Bengal. According to him, these include about 60 lakh Hindu and 30 lakh Muslim voters. However, there has been no official confirmation from the Election Commission on this figure either. The West Bengal Chief Minister also gave the example of the NRC (National Register of Citizens) conducted in Assam and said that there the names of 19 lakh people were excluded from the list, which included 13 lakh Hindus and 6 lakh Muslims. He also raised questions on the policies of the Central Government regarding this.
