Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said that should the BJP Government come to power in Bengal it would introduce the anti-Romeo squads in the State to take care of the deviant youth that threatened the women.
Wondering about the missing Paribartan (change) that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had promised ten years ago the UP Chief Minister said “When TMC came to power a decade ago it had promised to serve “maa-maati-manush” (mother, motherland and people) … they had promised a change but where is the paribartan (change) that Mamata Banerjee had promised to you?”
Alleging that Bengal was not a save place for the women he said “if BJP comes to power anti-Romeo squads will be formed in Bengal to deal with those who loiter around girls schools. Anti-Romeo squads were introduced in UP to ensure safety of women soon after he came to power in 2017.
He also said that the BJP Government would provide free education and journey to the women in the State. Incidentally BJP’s star campaigner Mithun Chakrabarty too said that the BJP Government not only would provide free bus tickets and education to the women but also it would provide air-conditioned general beds in the Government hospitals in the State. He was campaigning at Bally for Baishali Dalmiya the daughter of late BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya. Reacting to the UP Chief Minister’s statements Bengal TMC MP Sukhendu Shekhar Roy said “he should take care of his own State first where rape is an everyday affair … UP is number one in atrocities against women.”
Meanwhile, the BJP supporters agitated at various places in Behala in South Kolkata after the police administration cancelled the permission for a road show of Chakrabarty in support of BJP MLA and film actor Shrawanti Chatterjee.
