News Desk: Addressing a public rally in Sahapur village in Malda district as part of the party’s “Krishak Suraksha Abhiyan”, BJP President JP Nadda accused West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee of doing injustice with farmers.
Nadda said “Mamata ji, the people of West Bengal have decided to say you tata, goodbye, namaste, in the elections”
He added “What Mamata ji did with farmers of Bengal by depriving them of PM-Kisan Scheme benefits was an injustice. She did not allow the implementation of the welfare programme in the state to satisfy her ego. Now after realising that the farmers themselves have allowed the scheme she has said she would implement it. The 70 lakh farmers for the last two years have been deprived of annual aid of ₹ 6,000″
Nadda also took a dig on Mamata Banerjee over the ‘Jai Shree Ram’ slogan. He said “While coming here, I was greeted with Jai Shri Ram slogans. But I don’t understand why Mamata didi gets angry on hearing it”
Nadda also held a roadshow and had lunch with farmers along with other party leaders in Malda.
Later on Saturday, Nadda is scheduled to flag off a statewide “Parivartan Yatra” in Nadia district. However, there was some confusion about whether the BJP has permission to hold the event. Officials said the administration granted permission for a public meeting at Nabadwip, but there was still no go-ahead for the “Parivartan Yatra”. The police also said they had allowed Nadda’s programme, but there was no permission for the rally. The BJP leadership, however, said they will go ahead with the event.
