TMC leader intensifies attack, questions Centre’s intent over Women’s Reservation Bill linkage
“Failure of the Constitutional Amendment Bill signals the beginning of BJP’s decline: Mamata”
West Bengal elections
As campaigning gains momentum for the first phase of the West Bengal Assembly elections, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee actively intensified her attack on the BJP. On Saturday, she addressed two election rallies in Howrah and South 24 Parganas and strongly criticized the party.
Firstly, after the Lok Sabha rejected the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, Mamata immediately described the development as the beginning of BJP’s downfall. She clearly stated that the BJP lacks a full majority and currently depends on just two allied parties to stay in power.
Moreover, while addressing rallies in Uluberia and Baruipur, she directly questioned the central government’s decision to link the Women’s Reservation Bill with the delimitation process. She argued that the government deliberately used this strategy to hide its real intentions.
Meanwhile, Mamata sharply targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that he already faced defeat in the Lok Sabha. She confidently added that he will now face defeat in the electoral battlefield as well, starting from West Bengal.
At the same time, in Farakka, Abhishek Banerjee led a roadshow and aggressively criticized the BJP. He claimed that while the BJP attempts to weaken the Congress party, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) continues to challenge the BJP directly on the ground.
Finally, he urged voters to support TMC, warning that voting for any other party would indirectly benefit the BJP.
