The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders launched a scathing attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, accusing it of promoting lawlessness, corruption, and economic downturn. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari highlighted the desire of West Bengal residents to end what he termed as “government-supported hooliganism, crimes, and atrocities against Hindus.” Tiwari emphasized that the people hold the power, echoing the sentiments reflected in the charge sheet released by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala alleged that the Trinamool Congress government has plundered the state over the last 15 years and changed its fundamental values. Poonawala criticized the government for the exodus of thousands of industries from West Bengal, pointing out that approximately 6,000 industries have relocated. He expressed concerns about women’s safety and employment, citing a high level of atrocities against women and acid attacks in the state. Poonawala also raised issues regarding the loss of around 30 lakh jobs in West Bengal and highlighted alleged irregularities in the School Service Commission (SSC) recruitment.
Senior BJP leader Dilip Ghosh criticized the leadership of the Trinamool Congress, suggesting that the party is feeling the pressure as elections near. Ghosh remarked on the increasing likelihood of the TMC losing in the elections, attributing the party’s use of inappropriate language to this pressure. He noted a lack of proper justification for the recent remarks made by Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee as the election fervor intensifies.
