Bhangar: Criticising the Centre over Sunday's naxal attack in Chhattisgarh in which 22 security personnel were killed, the West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP of not governing the country properly and only concentrating on the West Bengal elections.
Lambasting the BJP for bringing leaders from all over the country, who
"are camping in the state to win the elections", Banerjee said at a
public meeting in South 24 Parganas that the saffron party is fielding its
sitting MPs for the assembly polls since it has a dearth of suitable
candidates.
Questioning the logic behind holding West Bengal assembly elections in
eight phases, she said, "It could have been done in 3 or 4 phases. Couldn’t
it have been wrapped up early in view of the Covid19 situation?" the chief
minister asked. She also pointed out that the Coronovirus situation had not
been so bad in the state till now.
The country has recorded an all-time
high of 1,03,558 Coronavirus infections in a ay pushing the nationwide Covid-19
tally to1,25,89,067, according to the Union Health Ministry data updated on
Monday.
In West Bengal, 1,957 more people had tested positive for the infection on
Sunday.
Wooing the minority voters in Bhangar Constituency in South 24 Parganas
district, with dominance of the minority community, Mamata told the minority
voters not to cast a single vote for the ISF.
“If you are voting for the ISF, you will be voting for BJP by mistake. The BJP
has planted ISF to divide the minority vote. They had done something similar in
the Bihar polls as well,” Mamata said.
