uttar Pradesh BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh asked SP leaders on Sunday to visit West Bengal and see it for themselves how the TMC ran the Government in that State.
His comments came hours after Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav blamed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for not addressing burning issues such as unemployment and the poor State of the economy.
“Please tell the SP to visit Bengal and see how the TMC runs the Government there. How they (TMC) chop off the hands of those unfurling flags (of other parties). How they cut people’s throats. Tell the SP to go to Bengal, unfurl its flag there and field a candidate against the TMC,” Singh said.
He was responding to a question at a press conference at the BJP headquarters here on reports of SP leaders going to the Lucknow airport to meet the TMC leaders who were not allowed to enter the city.
A four-member Trinamool Congress (TMC) delegation visiting Uttar Pradesh was stopped at the Lucknow airport, one of the delegates, Member of Parliament Nadimul Haque, said.
