LUCKNOW: UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday unleashed a frontal attack on TMC president Mamata Banerjee accusing her of allowing her party goons to target people who swear by nationalism and unfurl the tricolour.
“Mamata Didi has taken the oath of the Indian Constitution as an MP, a Union minister and then as West Bengal CM. But TMC goons murder people who try to unfurl the tricolour in West Bengal,” he said, while addressing a rally in Khanakul assembly seat of the poll-bound state.
The CM categorically referred to the alleged killing of BJP functionary Sudarshan Pramanik, who died during a scuffle with TMC supporters over hoisting of national flag on Independence Day in Hooghly district last year.
“TMC ke gundon ne Sudarshan Pramanik ki hatya is liye kar di thi kyunki wo TMC ke rashtra drohi aur bhrashta krityon ke khilaf lagatar aandolan kar rahe they… (TMC goons killed Sudarshan since he was raising his voice against anti-national and corrupt activities of the ruling party workers),” Yogi alleged.
The UP CM, who also addressed rallies in Jangipura, Chandannagar and Amta assembly seats, said the struggle of the people of Bengal would not go in vain. “May 2 ko jaise hi counting hogi aurBJPjeet kar sarkar banayegi…chun chun karTMCke gundon ko,jo arajakta faila rahe hain, nirdosh karyakartaon ko maar rahe hain…inke khilaf aisi karyawahi hogi ki inki aane wali kai peedhiyan gundagardi karna bhool jayengi… (Such action will be taken against TMC goons that their forthcoming generations would forget hooliganism),” Yogi said.
The UP CM said Mamata had no sympathy for women, youth or farmers. “Unhe to hamdardi bas yahan ke gundagardi karne wale tattvon ke saath hai… (She just sympathises with anti-social elements involved in hooliganism in the state),” he said.
He stressed that goondas who had been spreading terror in UP vanished after BJP came to power four years ago. “Sab gundey gayab…bahut saarejail chale gaye… aur kuchh yamlok chale gaye (Goons have vanished. Many went to the jail while some were gunned down in police encounters),” he said. “Many farmers in Hooghly region committed suicide in last 10 years of TMC rule but Didi (Mamata) did not allow them to get the benefit of PM Kisan Nidhi (envisaging a grant of Rs 6,000 per annum to small and marginal farmers),” he said.
“People who are a threat to India or are harassing poor, farmers and traders will face the law once BJP comes to power in Bengal. The rule of Congress, Communists and TMC has only led to disorder, corruption, anarchy and community appeasement. Disruption in celebration of Hindu festivals also happened in UP four years ago but not anymore,” he said.
Yogi reiterated that Bengal has a rich historical and cultural background and BJP would free the state from prevailing lawlessness and corruption.
Yogi said the TMC chief was pained by the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya. “She was earlier opposed to only BJP. Now she has a problem with Lord Ram,” he said. “Didi does not like construction of Temple…she does not like Durga Puja,” he said.
He said that the administrative machinery in West Bengal should contribute in allowing free and fair elections. “Main prashasan se kehna chahta hun…YeTMCki vidai ki bela hai…imandaari se chunav sampann karne mein apna yogdan dijiye…party banenge dikkatein ho jayengi…ye sehat ke liye accha nahi hoga… BJP aayegi to 7th Pay Commission degi (The administrative machinery should note that the days of TMC government are numbered. Contribute in free and fair elections. There will be problems if you become a party…it would not be good for your health. BJP will implement 7th pay commission after coming to power),” he said.
