Amit Shah has provided false information. The industrial sector has grown by 70 percent in the last ten years. Bengal is ahead in terms of per capita income”
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said
“Home Minister said a lot of things but I think when PM, HM says something they must have facts right. He painted a very sorry picture about Bengal. But where was he 10 years back when we took over?
According to the Government of India records, Bengal is number 1 in the eradication of poverty in India. Bengal is number 1 in 100 days work, rural housing, rural road, MSME sector, e-tendering and e-governance. GSDP of Bengal has increased 2.6 times. More than 1 crore jobs have been created in the state.
They speak so much about law and order. Even suicides are being termed as political killings. Kolkata has been adjudged safest city twice.
383 ex-Maoists have surrendered, 370 KLO activists have been rehabilitated, and hills and Jungalmahal have become peaceful.
The state celebrated festivals peacefully, institutional delivery is at 98 per cent and school dropout rates have come down.
The state’s infant mortality rate has come down to 22 from 34 per cent.
We have 95 per cent discharge rate. We have managed the Covid situation best in the country. Total treatment is free”
RELIGIOUS HATRED AND POLITICS IN CULTURE
The duo also slammed the saffron party of religious hatred and involving politics in culture.
MP Sougoto Roy said
“Netaji, Vivekananda, BJP’s tension with Rabindranath is all due to the vote. Have they read any of Netaji’s or Vivekananda’s books? Have they also read the translation? They are talking over and over again without reading them.
Even though we know Netaji’s birthday, we do not know the date of his death. It is still unknown. Attempts are being made to distort history.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had already written a letter demanding the declaration of January 23 as a national holiday on the occasion of Netaji’s birth anniversary. Rabindranath’s place is not a place for politics. BJP leaders enter Visva-Bharati. It is not right if Kailash Vijayvargiya, Rahul Sinha enters the house of worship in Uttarayan. It is strongly condemned. We strongly condemn it”
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said
“Last year and earlier also I said, Why Jesus Christ’s birthday will not be declared as a national holiday? You tell me it was there earlier. Why has the BJP government withdrawn that? Everybody has sentiments. What harm have Christians done? This festival is celebrated throughout the world.
This time yes there are some problems due to COVID-19 pandemic. We have to wear masks and maintain social distancing.
Is there secularism in India? I am sorry to say, a typical religious hatred politics is going on. I want to condemn this today”
MAMATA BANERJEE’S ANNOUNCEMENT
Whether it is a tab or a smartphone: Twelfth grade students will be able to buy the device of their choice. The West Bengal government will give the money.
