News Desk: Addressing a rally in Cooch Behar on Wednesday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee warned people of not to vote for BJP or else BJP will take them to detention camps like in Assam. She even accused the saffron party of playing politics with religion.
She said “Where is CAA? They spoke so much and there is no CAA. They speak a lot, but do nothing. In the name of NRC, 14 lakh Bengali-speaking people are left out in Assam. They kept people of Assam in detention camps. If you don’t want to stay in detention camp, then don’t vote for BJP”
“They play politics with religion too. Sometimes they set Rajbanshis against Bengalis. Don’t let this happen. I am also the daughter of a Brahmin family. I never said these things before. Now I am forced to say. I follow everyone’s religion. My food is prepared by a Scheduled Caste girl. The BJP does not want it” she added.
From the rally she also said “BJP is a devil in disguise. They go to temples during elections and do all bad things behind. They are paying to vote them. Take the money and vote for TMC. They do not know Bengali. They do not know Bengali culture”
She also alleged that CRPF is creating nuisance, attacking women and harassing voters in the state at the behest of BJP. “Public should be allowed to cast their votes. CRPF shouldn’t obstruct them from entering polling booths. I respect CRPF personnel who are real jawans but I don’t respect those who are doing nuisance, attacking women and harassing people at BJP’s behest” she said.
“Yesterday, they unleashed so many atrocities in Arambagh. They beat Sujata Mondal up with bamboo sticks. They hit an officer on duty on his head. The Goghat candidate beat up people and killed our booth president. I will oppose you. I cannot kill people with bullets. I won’t throw bombs, but I will say one vote is more precious. You have to give us votes” she added.
