BJP president JP Nadda on Monday slammed the Trinamool Congress Government for unleashing a reign of terror and corruption to remain in power.
Launching a no-holds-barred attack on the Bengal ruling outfit Nadda told a virtual rally how “Criminalisation of politics had become the hall mark of Bengal government and now cut money has become a new addition to this… wherever you go in Bengal you only listen to cut money, cut money and cut money … so a time has come when these leaders who want cut money have to be cut to size.”
Alleging that the Trinamool Congress leaders would do anything to retain power he said “from corruption to criminalization they are ready to compromise on all fronts to remain in power… hence a time has come when Bengal has to be restored to its former glory by removing this government lock, stock and barrel.”
Lauding freedom fighter and Jana Sangha founder Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee for laying down his life for a united India Nadda said while on one hand Bengal produced leaders like Mukherjee who fought for a united country on the other hand there was a party like the TMC which had no other goal but to remain in power.
Attacking the Mamata Banerjee government for mishandling the corona pandemic he said she “doesn’t believe in cooperative federalism… and does not share the data on corona related issues with the Centre.”
The TMC however vehemently refuted his allegations even as its senior Minister Firhad Hakim said “Unlike the other BJP Governments Bengal has been running transparently… we have placed all our data on the website.” The TMC unlike the BJP never eyes to dominate and occupy the entire political centre stage of the country, he said.
Meanwhile, the continuing dogfight between the two parties on Sunday saw BJP MP Arjum Singh’s car being vandalized by alleged TMC men at Halishahar. Singh who is also the vice president of Bengal BJP unit was however not injured as he was not inside the car. In a retaliatory attack the BJP supporters smashed a TMC party office sources said. Both the parties have denied the allegations.
