Raidighi: West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo on Saturday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of playing divisive politics in the state.
Addressing a public meeting here, Ms Banerjee said,” I request to all the minority brothers and sisters not to allow their vote to be divided.”
The TMC supremo said, "Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians are saying Hare Krishna hare hare, Trinamool ghare ghare (Trinamool in every bhousehold). BJP says hare Krishna hare hare, Hindu, Muslim bhaag kare, scheduled castes (SC) bhaag kare (divides Hindu and Muslim, divides schedule caste).
“Our culture is that Hindus and Muslims have tea with each other and celebrate Durga pooja together. BJP will benefit if there is unrest in our villages," the chief minister said.
She said, BJP has incentivised All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and Indian Secular Front (ISF) to play a part in the same.
The TMC supremo called upon Muslims not to "fall in the trap of a BJP-aided party from Hyderabad and its Bengal ally that are out to polarise votes."
"They had been given money by BJP to divide Hindus and Muslims. If you do not want to be divided, if you do not want NRC then do not vote for them," Ms Banerjee said.
The chief minister claimed that if elected to power in the state, the BJP will implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), forcing 'many citizens to leave'.
She said, "If you want Mamata, vote for TMC. It is not Delhi election but Bengal's election."
The chief minister said sitting Raidighi MLA and actor Debasree Roy joined the BJP after not getting a party ticket from the seat.
“We don't involve such opportunists in our party,” the TMC supremo said..
Ms Banerjee said there has been infrastructural development in Sunderbans. The state government has taken an initiative to provide egg meal at Rs 5 and women involved in SHGs in the region are involved in it
Ms Banerjee promised to bring water to every household in Raidighi.
The chief minister said, "free medical treatment in government hospitals and private nursing homes too will be started."
