BJP Organizes Events to Undermine TMC's Upcoming Delhi Protests
Party to meet Giriraj Singh with evidence of corruption, hold sit-in against TMC's "corruption"
The state chapter of the BJP is actively organizing events to undermine Trinamul's upcoming protests in Delhi, which will begin on Monday, up till the Durga Puja holiday.
"A team of BJP MPs will meet with (Union rural development minister) Giriraj Singh or (the minister of state) Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, to explain with documentary evidence of corruption that the Trinamul-led state government indulged in with the central funds," said state BJP unit chief Sukanta Majumdar, who will also arrive in Delhi on Monday.
He added that this will be in addition to the party's sit-in against Trinamul's "corruption" on Monday in front of the Gandhi statue on Mayo Road in Calcutta. On Monday, the ruling party in Bengal will host a celebration of Gandhi Jayanti at Delhi's Rajghat.
Majumdar stated, "Our MLAs will organize a dharna here, by the Gandhi statue."
These efforts, according to BJP state unit sources, were just one of many planned by the leadership to tarnish Trinamul's events in Delhi.
"Trinamul will gain notoriety because they will carry out all of this in Delhi. The media in Bengal will cover it extensively. To combat this, we must put out our best effort. There will be a lot more actions up until Puja to refute the Delhi-based Trinamul assertions, according to a source.
"Trinamul is using the so-called deprivation by the Centre issue to divide us in this area in the lead-up to the Lok Sabha elections. We must eliminate its effects, he continued.
The BJP Mahila Morcha is holding the sit-in on Monday.
Falguni Patra, head of the BJP Bengal women's wing, said, "We want to let Bengal's people know the state government did not get funds as it could not show proof of utilisation because of corruption."
