Agartala, Mar 09: Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha launched a scathing attack on Trinamool Congress on Monday, alleging that West Bengal has been transformed into a hub of corruption.
Continuing his verbal attack during poll campaign, Dr. Saha said that the culture and democracy in Bengal has been destroyed under the TMC rule. He appealed to the people of Bengal to vote for BJP in the ensuing assembly elections to restore democracy and revive the glory of Bengal.
The people of Tripura experienced the same during the rule of Left Front. But a new chapter of development started as the people there established the BJP-led government, he said while addressing a massive Paribartan Yatra in Bardhaman, South West Bengal.
The Tripura Chief Minister said that the people of Bengal have to oust this Trinamool Congress from power, which has been unleashing terror in Bengal for the last 15 years, and form a BJP government to restore democracy and peace.
“This land of Bardhaman is a land of revolution and devotion. Today I feel very bad when I see that people face obstruction while performing their own religious events. In Murshidabad, Hargobinda Das and Chandan Das; from Baduria, Kartik Ghosh; from Sandeshkhali, Pradip Mandal and Debdas Mandal had to die. We have to take permission to hold Saraswati Puja in Bengal. Now people are facing obstruction in immersion of Kali Puja in places like Uluberia, Tehatta and Rajabazar of Kolkata. There are attacks on Ram Navami rallies. From here we must take an oath that we will not accept any injustice,” said Dr. Saha.
Dr. Saha said that we are from one family, and when family members of BJP face any problem someone will come forward, and that is why I have come here from Tripura.
“The Left Front-led government had recruited 10,323 teachers without any rules, and the same thing happened in West Bengal as well, where 26,000 people lost their jobs. They speak about Maa Maati Manush but they failed to protect women. Despite having a female Chief Minister, they failed to give respect and security to women,” he noted.
The Trinamool Congress is using illegal Bangladeshis as a vote bank and the Government of West Bengal is not cooperating with the Centre in giving land to erect barbed wire fencing, said Dr. Saha according to a press release.
Dr. Saha informed that Tripura is benefiting from every central scheme and that they are properly implementing them, while Bengal has records of corruption.
“The law and order in Bengal has totally collapsed. People are waiting for the day when this TMC will be removed. People are now coming to invest in Tripura as the law and order situation has significantly improved. If we could remove CPIM, then why can’t you do the same in Bengal? Everywhere there is crime and unruliness. Everywhere there are scams and corruption. We must take the right decision to form a BJP government in Bengal,” he added.
