News Desk: On Thursday Amit Shah made a strong statement on Mamata Banerjee government. He said “With the kind of the cycle of oppression that has been unleashed particularly on the BJP workers by the Mamata Banerjee government, I can say with certainty that the death knell for it has been sounded. In the times to come, the BJP will form the government here with a two-thirds majority”
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee reacted to this statement of Mr Shah and expressed her anger. Without taking his name she said “I also know Hindi. If I say the same words… uproot and throw away, will you feel good? One should maintain dignity in political discourse. West Bengal has a special sense of pride. If some outsiders come and target our sense of pride, we will not accept it”
She added “One particular party had regularly violated the laws related to the COVID-19 pandemic and had spread the infection”
She further added “Attempts were being made to intimidate IAS and IPS officers. These officers have nothing to fear as they work under the State government. It is also important to bear in mind that West Bengal is not outside the country I do not interfere in the affairs of the Centre. The Centre should not interfere in the affairs of the State”
In another development, the State government gave appointment to Geeta Mahali, a tribal community person from north Bengal in whose house Mr. Shah had lunch in 2017, as a Home Guard.
The appointment comes on the day when the Home Minister had lunch at the house of a member of a tribal community in Birbhum district.
