Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday criticised the Election Commission (EC), questioning the ballot physique’s resolution to carry elections in eight phases in West Bengal amid rising Covid-19 circumstances in India.
“They cut short the polling phases in Assam and Tamil Nadu but so many phases of polling in West Bengal. Why? They may conspire and call off the election mid way citing Covid-19. But I will not allow them to do so. Election must be completed in Bengal,” she stated.
The CM was talking at a public assembly at Chinsurah in Hooghly district. “So many jawans were killed by the Maoists (in Chhattisgarh) but unfortunately our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are busy in ‘dangabazi’ to divide Bengal,” she stated.
“BJP injured my leg to prevent me from campaigning but they don’t know that I am winning Bengal with one foot and with two feet, and I will win Delhi in the future,” the Chief Minister stated, including that the nation was passing via its worst phases as a result of full failure of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.
“I will not allow ‘Gujaratis’ to rule Bengal because Bengal will be governed by a Bengali, and not by any ‘Gujarati’,” she stated.
Slamming the BJP for not having their very own candidates – most of the social gathering’s contestants are TMC, CPI(M) turncoats – Banerjee stated it didn’t have sufficient candidates and due to this fact fielded their MP (Locket Chatterjee).
“Why have they fielded an MP?” stated the CM, hinting at Locket Chatterjee. “I will tell you why. They have fielded an MP because they don’t trust the local people in Chinsurah. I know she (Chatterjee) is going to lose from her Chinsurah seat. In the future, they will field their MPs and MLAs for municipality polls, panchayat polls, school board polls,” she stated.
She additional criticised Chatterjee, saying: “I know all their controversies. They only accused TMC for Narada and Saradha but we all know she (Locket Chatterjee) is the Locket of Rose Valley. But it is unfortunate that the agencies (CBI, ED) are selectively harassing opposition party leaders and not summoning the BJP leaders.”
Banerjee stated she needed to offer Covid vaccines freed from value in Bengal, however that Modi had ignored her request.
“I requested PM Modi to provide us with vaccines and told him that we will purchase the vaccines from designated point(s) on top priority basis, because I wanted to provide vaccination free of cost to all the people. But unfortunately they didn’t give us the vaccines. You know why? They didn’t give us the vaccine because these two person (Modi and Shah) want to kill all of us, because only they want to rule the country,” she stated.
Accusing the BJP for indulging in divisive politics, Mamata stated there have been folks coming from different states and “creating problems”. “They don’t even know the culture of Bengal. They know how to play with blood and now they are here to play their dirty politics,” she stated.
“We have to unite against evil forces like BJP. They came to Bengal to divide us. You voted for BJP (in 2019 Lok Sabha) and they cheated you. They gave you nothing. We are giving you free ration and the BJP government at the Centre is increasing the price of LPG. Today, on behalf of all the people, I demand that the Centre should provide free LPG gas to all,” she stated.
