Mamata Banerjee: “I formed an INDIA alliance in Bengal; don’t waste your vote on Congress.”
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that the opposition front in the state has disintegrated and criticized the CPI (M) and Congress, the opposition bloc’s INDIA partners, for “joining hands with the BJP” in West Bengal on Thursday.
Additionally, the Chief Minister asked voters not to support the Congress and the CPI (M). She was speaking at a Murshidabad polling campaign event.
“In West Bengal, there is no India alliance. I was a major player in the opposition alliance’s inception. I even came up with the alliance’s name. However, the CPI (M) and Congress in West Bengal are BJP employees, according to Mamata Banerjee.
“Don’t cast your vote in favour of the Congress and the CPI (M) if you want to defeat the BJP,” she said.
Earlier in January, Mamata Banerjee had rejected attempts by the Congress leadership to work out a seat-sharing arrangement by declaring that her party will run in the Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal alone.
On top of that, Mamata Banerjee claimed that the violence in the Murshidabad area was “pre-planned” and accused the BJP of encouraging violence during the state’s Ram Navami festivities.
But the BJP retaliated against Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of being responsible for the violence that occurred during the Ram Navami festivities in the Murshidabad region and saying that she should be held accountable for her failure to safeguard Bengali Hindus.
