Panaji, December 14th : .Rejuvenated by the alliance she made with the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party in Goa (MGP), Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Chief Minister, and Trinamool Congress supremo, said Tuesday that the end of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s rule would start from Goa which is heading for elections in the early 2022. Banerjee addressed a Panaji public gathering to officially announce his party’s affiliation with the local political group.He also criticized the BJP for trying ‘communalise” issues in advance of the election, but he kept mum about key issues such as inflation and the rise in price of vital commodities.
Goa is India.Do not mistake Goa for small.Goa is the place where sunrise happens.India is happy when Goa smiles.
Banerjee stated that BJP’s sunset would also start from Goa from UP and Punjab, throughout the country.
We must say no to Delhi’s ‘dadagiri,’ in order to usher in a new dawn for Goa.Speak no to BJP.Banerjee said that only Trinamool or MGP are acceptable.
Banerjee blasted the BJP’s attempts to ‘communalise the atmosphere’ ahead of the elections.He said, “The Hindu-Muslim rhetoric is only raised during elections.Only during elections can riots take place.The Ganga is full of the bodies of the deceased after the elections.
Banerjee stated that no one can remember such a thing.
She also questioned BJP’s silence on critical issues such as price rise and the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, where farmers were trampled in a car driven by a Union minister.
The BJP follows a consistent narrative.They don’t talk about the real issues.
What number of times has BJP raised concerns about petrol prices? How often have you brought up the diesel price issue? Banerjee asked how many people have been harassed by demonetisation.
“What have you done in Goa and India? Now you are targeting the Railways.The public sector is being shut down now.BJP minister’s son trampled farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri.The SIT has submitted its report to the court and said that the incident was pre-planned.Should the UP minister not resign? Should the Home Minister not resign? Should the PM not speak about this,” she asked.
“They (BJP) have destroyed the country.What is the price of LPG? Earlier they used to talk about Ujala.But after elections, there is no talk of Ujala.What did they do for women? ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’.How much was the budget? Rs 100 crore.There is no money for the scheme, because all the money was spent on advertising,” Banerjee said.
She also criticised the ruling BJP for questioning her ‘Hindu’ credentials, saying that in West Bengal, even ‘purohits’ (temple priests) are given pension, and asked if the BJP offers pension to priests in states ruled by the party.
“BJP’s task is to give certificates, whether I am a Hindu or Muslim or Sikh or Christian.Who are you? My father and mother gave me my name.I feel ashamed to say if someone asks me, if I am Hindu or Muslim or Brahmin or Kayastha or tribal.I am a human being,” Banerjee said, while also reciting passages from the ‘Chandipath’, a prayer dedicated to the female deity.
“More than a lakh durga pujas are held in Bengal.We gave Rs 50,000 to every (organising) club.Has the BJP offered this to anyone? If you prove what I am saying is wrong, I am ready to resign from my post,” Banerjee said.
