News Desk: After a long walk with a large number of supporters, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee addressed a mega roadshow in Bolpur. She came down heavily on her arch rival Bharatiya Janata Party and challenged the saffron brigade to win thirty seats before dreaming of 294. Apart from slamming her arch rival she also invited Baul folk singer Basudeb Das Baul on stage to sing for the crowd to give a befitting reply to Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
She said
“They may have bought a few MLAs, but they can never buy TMC. The ones that joined the saffron party were removed from the TMC because of their corrupt practices.
The BJP is trying to coerce TMC leaders to join the party using moneybags to break opposition parties. Today, I would like to appeal to the people of Birbhum to stand against evil forces like BJP.
The BJP is trying to buy people with ‘bundles of notes’ ahead of the 2021 Assembly polls. Take the money and then lodge a police complaint”
She came down heavily on the saffron brigade at the roadshow.
“BJP is a garbage of lies and believes in dangerous divisive politics. The outsider ‘goondas’ came to Bengal and they are trying to create rift between us. They are blackmailing us in the name of agencies. I would like to tell them today, we will not bow our head before those who killed Gandhiji and insulted Rabindranath Tagore. It is unfortunate that they have appointed a saffron-stamped Vice-Chancellor at Visva Bharati. BJP is trying to convert Visva Bharati into a ‘Danga’ place.
Those who don’t respect Mahatma Gandhi and other icons of the country are taking of building ‘Sonar Bangla’. Rabindranath Tagore has already created ‘Sonar Bangla’ several decades ago, all we need to do is to protect the place from the communal onslaught of the BJP.
One outsider is coming to Bengal as if he is Santa Claus or Vallabhbhai Patel. Staying at a five star hotel and eating five star food and talking about reforms of the poor. He is not only fooling people but also misleading in the name of Hinduism. These outsiders are creating chaos in the land of Tagore. They don’t even know where Rabindranath Tagore was born. They don’t even know the culture of Bengal. They only know hatred and divisive politics. Elections are coming and therefore these seasonal birds are coming to Bengal.
The Bengal elections are coming up and every week there is a five-star feast happening. They are trying to show they are eating at some Adivasi bhai’s place. No one can insult our Adivasi brothers.
They are trying to create a new Hindu dharma. We all follow the Hindu principles and ideologies of Swami Vivekananda and Ram Krishna Paramhansa. But the BJP is trying to create a dangerous Hinduism trend in India. This is not only dangerous for our democracy but also devastating for our country. Now, they are dreaming of capturing our Bengal. Everyday, leaders from other states are coming to Bengal to spread misinformation”
More than 10 LCD screens were put up at all the important intersections for wide coverage of the mega show.
