Abhishek Banerjee Sees Niranjan Jyoti's Kolkata Trip as 'Moral Victory', Says PM Modi May Visit Bengal Soon

On Saturday, Trinamul leader Abhishek Banerjee hailed Niranjan Jyoti's trip to Calcutta as a "moral victory" for Bengalis, adding that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi would have to visit the region to release finances and unpaid wages.

"I am glad that the Union minister of state who used central forces and Delhi police to drag and shove us out of her office was compelled to come to Calcutta to address a news conference. This represents a moral victory for the Bengali people. After our protest at her office, Sadhvi Nirajnan Jyoti had to arrive here within 96 hours. Wait a few days, and you'll see a lot of influential people visiting Bengal, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Rural Development Giriraj Singh. On the third day of the indefinite dharna in front of the north entrance of Raj Bhavan, Abhishek addressed party activists, saying, "They would also release Bengal's dues and the wages of the poor people.

In letters to Abhishek, the Trinamul national general secretary, several mass organizations expressed their support for the struggle for government funding.

At a meeting held on Saturday at the Mahajati Sadan in Calcutta under the banner of Samayer Dak, intellectuals, political figures, and representatives of cultural organizations, including those close to Trinamul, vowed to unite people under one banner in order to ensure that the Narendra Modi government is overthrown in 2024.

According to Abhishek, Jyoti, the federal minister, may have met Trinamul leaders while visiting the Raj Bhavan or any other location in Calcutta. "We have absolutely no ego. She said that we would need to go to meet her when media questioned her about meeting a Trinamul delegation today. It indicates that she anticipated seeing Trinamul leaders where she was, at the BJP office. We are battling against the BJP's zamindari legacy, Abhishek stated.
