Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said the BJP will not be able to win even 70 seats in the ongoing state assembly elections which many expect to be a cliff-hanger.
Speaking at a rally at Dabgram-Fulbari in Jalpaiguri district, the Trinamool Congress supremo ridiculed Prime Minister Narendra Modis recent claim that BJP had already won a 100 seats in the four phases of the election to the 294-seat assembly.
“Prime Minister Modi has said the saffron party has already won 100 seats out of 135 seats where elections have been held. I can say that after the elections are over, BJP will not even get 70 out of total of 294 seats”, she said.
The Trinamool Congress leader charged that the BJP was spreading falsehood by telling different things at different places on the same issue.
Banerjee said home minister Amit Shah had said in Lebong in Darjeeling that there will be no NRC. However she pointed out that 14 lakh people have been identified and sent to detention camps based on a process to find illegal migrants under the National Register of Citizens.
14 lakh people have been asked to go to the detention camps”, she pointed out.
Banerjee said if TMC is voted to power once again, it would not allow the controversial National Register of Citizens(NRC) to be implemented in West Bengal. All of you are citizens. My only request to people is that they cast their votes, she said.
The Trinamool Congress leader claimed that BJP is bringing in people from other states where the pandemic was raging and this was helping spread Coronavirus. “These people will spread COVID in the state and then go awaylast year when COVID was in spate, none of the BJP leaders cared to the come to the state”, she said.
Banerjee also criticised the saffron party for its ‘anti-people and anti-poor stance allowing prices of fuel including cooking gas to skyrocket.

WEST BENGAL INDIA
My father lived and worked in Calcutta and fluently spoke Bengali. As a teenager, I loved West Bengal because it was then a very civilized and peaceful Province of India. I am a UP NRI residing in Canada since 1975. I have studied, worked and travelled the world, my comment is based on my experience and learning. Today India is like a war zone, no one is safe and no one’s property is safe. Most Indian children have no future. Our leaders lack the leadership to rule justly. The public administrators are the looters of India, politicians, public administrators are corrupt, bribery, influence peddling has doomed India. No matter which political party rule West Bengal they must maintain law and order, now West Bengal has become like UP and Bihar. Murders are frequent. The gangsters assaulted Mamta Banerjee the chief minister of West Bengal, an SHO is murdered, these are a poor picture of India. My younger brother, my co-shareholders, bhumafia, politicians, advocates, plotted to get me murdered so that they can loot my properties, four IAS, four PCS conspired to get me murdered, democracy is dead in India and replaced by the ” Gunda Raj”.

Bangladesh Hindus, who had migrated to west Bengal since 1947, do not wish to be minority again in their own state.
If this is her assessment of BJP’s chances of victory, why is she so hysterical in her speeches, gestures? In my seven decades life, I have not seen another politician who screams so hysterially, and gesticulates so wildly.

Good bye to your corruption, good bye to your Islamic appeasement, good bye to your failed governance, good bye to your violence, good bye for ever.
I thought by now the BJP IT cell would have realized that a name like this makes it obvious it’s them!!
But then, I’d forgotten they’re all andh-bhakts!! 😀 😀
