Mamata Banerjee Claims Poll Surveys Telecast On TV Channels Are “BJP Inspired

Mamata Banerjee, the founder of Maldaha Uttar TMC candidate Prasun Banerjee, and a former IPS officer, spoke at a public meeting in Gajol, Malda district, criticizing the scheduling of elections from April 19 to June 1. She accused the government of extending the election period to facilitate the travel of Prime Minister Modi and his cabinet colleagues, allowing them to overwhelm the opposition by utilizing special planes for campaigning. Banerjee stated that while the ruling party has access to military planes and other resources, opposition parties are left to arrange their own transportation, including helicopters. She alleged that the Union council of ministers led by Narendra Modi was still actively involved in decision-making despite being a caretaker cabinet after the election announcement, claiming that the Election Commission is aligning with their agenda.

Additionally, Banerjee criticized the ineffective representation of West Bengal’s needs by BJP and Congress MPs, accusing them of neglecting issues such as MGNREGA funds and housing for the poor. Banerjee urged the people not to vote for non-TMC candidates, accusing the CPI (M) and Congress of indirectly supporting the BJP in the state. She cited examples of TMC MPs being targeted and sent back from Assam, alleging that her party has always stood up against injustices committed by the BJP government. At another rally in Maldaha Dakshin constituency, Banerjee criticized the BJP’s alleged plan to impose the Uniform Civil Code, vowing to oppose it vigorously.

She also dismissed the BJP’s goal of winning over 400 seats, expressing confidence that the TMC would perform well in the polls and emphasizing that a party cannot solely rely on central forces to win elections. The speech concluded with a statement asserting the TMC’s resilience against attempts by investigative agencies and the BJP’s reliance on them, confidently stating that the BJP will not return to power in Delhi despite their efforts.
