News Desk: BJP Minority Cell national president Haji Jamal Siddiqui on Monday said that the ruling party TMC is treating Muslims as its vote bank. He said “Minorities in Bengal have been betrayed for the last several decades in West Bengal. First, it was Congress, then the Left Front and then the TMC, all of them have done nothing for the development of minorities in the state. The TMC, for their vested interest, has misled and misguided the minorities on the issue of CAA”
He added “The CAA doesn’t take anyone”s citizenship, it grants citizenship to refugees. But parties like the TMC have misguided people on the issue. The minorities now have very well understood that the TMC, for the last ten years, has used them as its vote bank. The minorities in the next assembly polls will reject the TMC, lock, stock and barrel”
Senior TMC leader and MP Sougata Roy reacted to this allegation. He said “He should visit villages and check the list of various developmental projects undertaken for minorities to know what the TMC government has done for them”
