“We have Mamata Banerjee. What About You”: Trinamool’s Big Question To BJP

Kolkata:

Mamata Banerjee nowadays flagged off her bid for a 3rd time period because the Leader Minister of West Bengal with a digital rally at a time when she is dealing with a maximum tangible political rival within the state, the BJP. Led by means of Amit Shah, the BJP has already stepped up a multi-pronged assault at the ruling Trinamool Congress. He held a digital rally on Bengal on 14 June. However workforce Mamata Banerjee has a query for BJP that the celebration has no solution to: who’s BJP’s solution to Didi, who’s their leader minister candidate.

At this pandemic-enforced digital rally on a date the Trinamool marks as Martyrs’ Day, Mamata Banerjee made a dramatic promise — that on July 21 subsequent yr, her celebration will grasp its greatest rally ever to have fun its victory in Meeting polls. She categorized the BJP an interloper and referred to as for revenge.

“Muscle energy is getting used at all times. Individuals are scared to talk up. However I’m really not. I’ve fought within the face of weapons and bullets. Take into accout, a wounded tiger is extra unhealthy than a lifeless one. My request for my celebration employees — on Would possibly 21, we will be able to take revenge and be sure that the BJP loses its safety deposit within the elections and that Bengal is dominated by means of Bengal and now not outsiders,” Ms Banerjee mentioned.

Ms Banerjee has travelled a long way since 2011, when she ousted the CPM regime in Bengal. Her slogan then was once “badla noy, bodol chai” or “now not revenge, we would like alternate”. Now, there’s no hesitation about in search of revenge in opposition to the BJP for “threatening democracy and the rustic’s federal construction”.

“Subsequent time she addresses her July 21 rally, she may not be doing that as the manager minister,” BJP’s Bengal leader Dilip Ghosh had mocked Mamata Banerjee sooner than the rally. Later, extra insults have been hurled. “We will be able to give her (Mamata) permission for the rally. However now not even 21 folks will attend her July 21 rally subsequent yr. In reality, there will probably be no rally, just a boulevard nook assembly,” he mentioned.

The Trinamool-BJP acrimony is a serve as of the high-stakes 2021 Meeting polls. Mamata Banerjee is made up our minds to shield her turf. The BJP is looking for new floor and attacking her on all conceivable counts. Covid and cyclone aid corruption are the newest problems that state Governor Jagdeep Dhankar, too, has joined.

No longer that Mamata Banerjee is giving any quarter. Reacting to claims of deteriorating regulation and order scenario in Bengal, she has pointed a finger on the Vikas Dubey incident in Uttar Pradesh. “Even labelling the location jungle raj isn’t just right sufficient,” she mentioned.

However Trinamool has a wonder ace up its sleeve and  a query for the BJP directly out of the films: Trinamool has Mamata. And BJP? (Mere paas gari hai, bangla hai, paisa hai. Tumhare cross kya hai? Mere pas maa hai)

“Let the BJP say who’s their exchange for Mamata Banerjee. Then we will be able to fear a few problem from that celebration,” mentioned Subrata Mukherjee, panchayat minister and Mamata’s mentor since their Congress days.  

The Bengal BJP warhorse is state leader Dilip Ghosh. However without a identify being officially declared as a main ministerial candidate, chatter is inevitable concerning the probables. Tongues wagged over a photograph with Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta, Darjeeling MP Raju Bista, Asansol MP Babul Supriyo and Raiganj MP Debasree Chowdhury in a single body when they met Amit Shah on Monday.

If Mamata Banerjee even remotely threatened, she didn’t let it slip. Wrapping up her digital rally, her rallying cry was once, “Hum hain na?”
