Chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s speech to uphold unity referring to BJP’s Pakistan Campaign in Nandigram
“I am happy that I got a chance to contest from Bhawanipore. In Bhawanipore, there are many communities. We may have different religions, but we are all the same.
I have gone to masjid; I have gone to gurdwara and mandir too. I go to Jain mandir as well and to Park Street during Christmas.
Bengal will protect Hindustan, and will not allow it to become Pakistan or Taliban as this was the land of Rabindranath and Nazrul, so we all will stay together.
They are trying the same in Bhawanipore as well but people’s unity is the essence of Bhawanipore”
BJP accuses chief minister Mamata Banerjee of violating Covid norms
Sajal Ghosh, the chief election agent of Priyanka Tibrewal, wrote to the Election Commission (EC), on Thursday, alleging that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee violated Covid norms.
In a letter to the Election Commission (EC), he said “On September 15, the TMC candidate violated the Covid guidelines and Model Code of Conduct while visiting the Bhawanipur Gurudwara”
“Her supporters also flouted Covid norms by not wearing masks and they did not use sanitiser” he added in the letter.
The ruling TMC called these allegations baseless and politically motivated.
On Wednesday, chief minister Mamata Banerjee visited Gurudwara Sant Kutiya in Bhawanipore to seek blessings ahead of the bypoll. Reaching out to the Sikh community, she also said that she has supported the farmer’s movement and demanded withdrawal of the three farm laws of the BJP-led Central government.
