News Desk: On the 14th Nandigram Divas on Wednesday both TMC and BJP held programmes at the place and accused each other of having betrayed the farmers of the area who had faced atrocities allegedly by the police and CPI(M).
Senior TMC MLA Tapas Roy and party state general secretary Kunal Ghosh placed wreaths at the martyrs column at Gokulnagar in Nandigram and criticised Adhikari, who is the BJP MLA from Nandigram, for “betraying the people of the constituency by aligning with communal BJP and by weaving the narrative which causes schism in the society among different communities”
Mr Roy said “Let’s wait for the high court judgement on the petition seeking recounting of Nandigram poll results. Adhikari will be dislodged from Nandigram”
“You have let loose a reign of terror against TMC supporters before and after the poll. You stabbed your mother Mamata Banerjee from the back. Nandigram will not accept you any more. In any future poll Mamata Banerjee will win by more than 22,000 margin here” he added.
TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said “In days to come TMC will uproot Suvendu Adhikari from Nandigram as everyone knows that he had done nothing during the dastardly attack of the erstwhile Left Front government on common people for acquiring lands. If recounting is held in Nandigram then TMC Supremo Mamata Banerjee will win by over 22000 votes against Suvendu”
After the TMC programme, Adhikari led a rally in the area under the banner Bhumi Uchhed Protirodh Committee. Before he placed floral tributes, the memorial was washed with Ganga water by BJP workers “to purify the spot of the touch by TMC”.
Adhikari said “The TMC supremo has forgotten the martyrs. She used Nandigram to get votes and come to power. Now she is not concerned about the plight of farmers, she is only concerned about her well being”
“Had L K Advaniji not come to help, had Sushma Swaraj, Rajnath Singh not come to help, TMC couldn’t have entered into Nandigram. BJP MPs stalled Parliament for over two months and you were probably having sandwiches at that time” he added.
Adhikari alleged that hundreds of false cases were framed against him and BJP activists in Nandigram and nearby Khejuri area and said “We will ensure that a CBI or high level SIT probe by the union home ministry is ordered into the framing of these cases”.
Hitting out at TMC, Adhikari said people in Nandigram should not be scared of any threat by the ruling party as “the country knows about the terror by it”.
He said Union Home Minister Amit Shah is on the side of those who had suffered in the violence by the ruling party in West Bengal and chief ministers of BJP ruled states had condemned the attacks by TMC after the poll counting.
“TMC’s landslide victory won’t be there if recounting takes place in all the constituencies. Kunal Ghosh if he is confident about Mamata Banerjee’s victory in Nandigram should demand recounting in all 294 constituencies in West Bengal” said state BJP president Sukanta Majumdar.
