BJP President JP Nadda reached West Bengal today to begin the Saffron’s party’s 2 days Rath Yatra which they have termed as ‘Parivartan Rath Yatra’ (march towards change). Ahead of the Rath Yatra launch JP Nadda held a mega roadshow in Bengal’s Malda and addressed the farmers during his rally.
JP Nadda launched an attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and said, “Mamata Didi has done injustice to the farmers here. She in her stubbornness, ego & pride, did not roll out PM’s Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana in West Bengal. This has kept over 70 lakh farmers deprived of its benefit.”

He also wondered why she loses her cool over the “Jai Shri Ram” slogans.
Nadda, while attending the final round of the month-long “Krishak Suraksha Abhiyan” of the party, said people of the state have made up their mind to bid “namaste and tata” to Banerjee and her party after the assembly polls.
Nadda further said, “When around 25 lakh people urged to the Centre, then Mamata ji said I’ll also implement Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Mamata ji, elections are around the corner, what’s the point repenting when the damage has already been done?”
“Now after realising that the farmers themselves have allowed the scheme she has said she would implement it. The 70 lakh farmers for the last two years have been deprived of annual aid of Rs 6,000,” Nadda said.
The BJP chief also had lunch with the farmers on the open ground as part of the “Krishak Suraksha Saha-Bhoj” at Sahapur village in Malda.Â
While BJP is all set to launch the mega rally, poll-bound West Bengal can witness massive chaos at Nadia district as Trinamool Congress will also launch its biggest rally in the district with 10,000 motorcycles and tableaus.
The TMC’s bike rally named ‘janasamarthan yatra’ (journey for mass support) is likely to clash with Nadda’s Rath Yatra as the rally will cover 8 constituencies during the same time.
A huge traffic jam is likely to affect the common people of West Bengal today as the TMC motorcycle rally will begin at 10 am and will crisscross Nadda’s path.
