In view of the assembly elections in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has again opened a front against the Modi government and the Election Commission. Addressing an election rally in Paschim Bardhaman, the Trinamool Congress supremo expressed the fear of another lockdown in the country and said that no strategy of BJP can stop her from fighting.
Mamta Banerjee said that she can impose lockdown again and confine people to their homes. Even in 2021, we contested and won the elections amid lockdown. I am ready to fight in any situation.
What was said about the shortage of cylinders?
The West Bengal CM also expressed concern over the shortage and rising prices of LPG cylinders in the country. He said that earlier the cylinder was priced at Rs 400, which has now become Rs 1,100. Questioning the situation of getting the cylinder after 25-35 days of booking, he said that people are forced to return to primitive methods of cooking.
Accusation of collusion between BJP and Election Commission
Apart from this, Mamata Banerjee alleged nexus between BJP and Election Commission in removing names of voters through SIR process. Mamta described BJP as a washing machine with disappearing powers and said that the names of real voters (Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, SC/ST) are being removed by putting them in it. He said that those whose names have been removed, TMC will provide them free legal aid and help by setting up camps in every area to fight in the tribunal.
Government will fall – Banerjee
Mamata Banerjee claimed that the BJP government at the Center will fall by August or September this year. He warned the Election Commission that he should not work as a BJP agent. He called upon supporters to unite against any use of force on the day of voting and counting.
