West Bengal | Voting for any party other than TMC means vote for BJP, says Abhishek Banerjee
Murshidabad: “A vote for any party other than the TMC is a vote for the BJP,” Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee told a poll rally, in a bid to consolidate votes in this district, which historically has been a strong base of the Congress.
Addressing a gathering after a roadshow in Farakka, he claimed that while the BJP was “breaking the Congress”, the TMC was “thwarting the BJP’s influence on the ground.” Targeting the Congress, the de facto number two in the TMC, claimed that no MP or any representative of the grand old party stood by them in the past two years to address people’s demands.
Mr. Banerjee claimed that the Congress, Aam Janata Unnayan Party founder Humayun Kabir and central agencies were the “three agencies of the BJP” that were active in the region.
While attempts were being made to delete the names of the poor and minority voters from the electoral rolls, the Opposition parties were “playing with the emotions of the community”, the TMC leader said.
“I urge people – Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians – not to be misled. Those trying to divide you must be given a befitting reply on polling day. If you want to defeat the BJP, the only way is to vote for the TMC,” he said.
