Mamata destroyed democracy in Bengal: Kailash Vijaybargiya

Kolkata, 4 June (HS): BJP  Central Observer Kailash Vijaybargiya and the party’s  West Bengal state President Dilip Ghosh today criticised Chief minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly trying to revive democracy in the state which she herself had allegedly destroyed during the last Panchayat elections.

Ridiculing the Chief minister’s decision to introduce ‘Jai Hind’ slogan in the state to counter the Jai Sriram slogan of BJP, both Vijaybargiya and Ghosh said after a party meeting here this evening that it was very unfortunate and at the same time laughable that she had to borrow the famous slogan and call of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose to prove her love for the country and use the same in the name of saving democracy and the rights of the people.

Reiterating that unlike any Trinamool Congress worker, no BJP supporter had any allergy to either chant  Jai Hind or Jia Bangla slogan.

‘ We are even  ready to chant Jai Ma Kali slogan’,they said and charged the TMC supremo with not chanting the Jai Sri Ram slogan,terming it as communal, which was nothing but laughable.

Turning  their attention to Mamata Banerjee’s decision to organise peace marches in every district all across the state to restore democracy, Ghosh said after witnessing unprecedented violence during the last year’s Panchayat elections in which about 100 people lost their lives, the voters in West Bengal were very apprehensive during the Lok Sabha poll on whether they would be able to cast their votes which most of them could not do during the Panchayat poll.

The people never asked for new roads,new schools and colleges in the state during the election campaign,they only wanted peace,Ghosh said.

Later both Vijaybargiya and Ghosh interacted with party workers to review the reasons about the loss of BJP candidates in several constituencies by slender margin and discussed ways and means to further strengthen the party in West Bengal before the next year’s Corporation and Municipal elections.
