Trinamul govt end near, BJP will sweep state, says Shah
Vowing to oust the Mamata Banerjee government from West Bengal in 2019, BJP president Amit Shah on Thursday predicted that the Trinamul Congress’ rule was nearing it’s end. With the BJP slogan ‘ Ebar Bangla ( Now Bengal)’ on his lips to bring change, he declared that the BJP would sweep the Lok Sabha ( LS) Elections next year in more than 22 seats out of 42 constituencies.
Addressing a BJP rally in three slain party workers’ memory at Balarampur in Purulia on the last day of his two- day visit Mr Shah said, “The noise from here should reach the ears of the Mamata Banerjee government in Kolkata. I just prayed to Maa Tara at Tarapeath to bless the BJP workers with so much power that we could uproot the Mamata Banerjee government from power here.”
Referring to BJP’s victoryrun in 19 states he elaborated, “If this government thinks that it would will not go in vain. It will ensure your ( read: Mamata) rule will not continue for long. If Bengal has to be developed, a change has to be brought by eliminating the chitfund business, cattlesmuggling, bomb- making and infilltration.”
Mr Shah underlined, “Only the BJP can bring that change. Only its government can bring development here. No one else can. The LS polls of 2019 will snatch away the sleep of the present government here. In 2014 the BJP was at 14th position with two seats. Now it has come up to second position. But in 2019 elections the BJP will bag the first position here by winning more than 22 seats.” He added, “Apart from 22 there is also Purulia which I kept out of counting on Wednessday as I was yet to visit here then. So if it is included also, our tally will be 23.” The BJP president also bantered Ms Banerjee’s recent bonhomie with other political parties at the national level to form Mahagatbandhan ( grand alliance) against the BJP in the coming LS polls.
