Jalpaiguri (West Bengal)
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on April 5 hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks about atrocities towards girls and corruption, asserting that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and her authorities had taken stern motion towards the culprits concerned in alleged sexual abuse of ladies in Sandeshkhali.
Whereas addressing a rally in Jalpaiguri, Ms. Banerjee stated the allegations of corruption towards the TMC are “politically motivated” and puzzled why Central funds have been stopped regardless of the Centre sending greater than 300 Central groups to oversee the utilization of funds.
“Each time there have been any allegations of corruption, we have now taken motion and eliminated that individual from the get together. However what in regards to the BJP? They’ve inducted all corrupt and criminals into their get together,” she stated.
Referring to latest incidents in Sandeshkhali, the place allegations of sexual abuse towards TMC leaders surfaced, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whereas addressing a rally in Cooch Behar, criticised the State authorities for its alleged apathy in direction of the victims.
“There have been some incidents in Sandeshkhali, after I got here to find out about these complaints, I instantly took motion towards them. I’m not like them [the BJP], as they had been mute spectators when girls wrestlers had been harassed by the BJP MP or in the course of the Hathras incident,” she stated.
“It’s a matter of nationwide disgrace that an individual towards whom a number of instances are pending has been appointed because the Minister of State for House Affairs,” she stated in an obvious reference to BJP candidate and Union Minister of State for House Nisith Pramanik who’s searching for re-election from Cooch Behar.
Ms. Banerjee stated her efforts to offer compensation to the affected inhabitants of Jalpaiguri, the place a storm had claimed 5 lives, couldn’t fructify because the BJP had moved the Election Fee of India towards it.
“The State administration was supposed to offer compensation to the affected individuals. However the BJP would not need that to occur. The BJP themselves do not do something and neither permits others to do something,” she stated.
