TMC plundering West Bengal's resources, depriving people: BJP
TMC is plundering West Bengal's resources, depriving the people of their needs, BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar alleged on Sunday. Speaking at a programme organised by the state BJP to commemorate the 'Amrit Kalash Yatra', he said one TMC leader after the other is going to jail in corruption cases, and no one knows where will it end.
«While Prime Minister Narendra Modi is paying homage to the great sons of the country with the 'Meri Mati, Mera Desh' programme, the TMC is plundering the resources of the state and depriving the people,» alleged Majumdar, the MP of Balurghat.
«After minister Partha Chatterjee, it is now Jyoti Priya Mallick who has been arrested for corruption. MLA Manik Bhattacharya is also in jail. The misdeeds of one after the other senior TMC leader are coming to light.
We wonder where it will end,» he added.
Majumdar said the BJP will hit the streets to take on the «monumental corruption» of the TMC government as its senior leaders have cheated lakhs of common people.
BJP leaders Dilip Ghosh, Agnimitra Paul and Rahul Sinha were also present in the rally, which began at College Square and culminated in Esplanade.
A BJP leader said around 1,400 people with soil collected from 344 blocks of the state will travel to New Delhi in a special train from the Kolkata railway station.
Soil collected from more than 7,000 blocks in 766 districts of the country will be placed at the 'Amrit Vatika', a new monument to be built near the National War Memorial in New Delhi, as part of the campaign.
Prime Minister Modi is slated to address the programme on October 31, remembering the bravehearts who laid down their lives for India.
