Poll debacle: Tathagatha Roy at it again, BJP chief counters
Senior BJP leader Tathagata Roy once again slammed BJP state president Dilip Ghosh and others for poll debacle.
The former Governor of Tripura on Thursday took to Twitter and slammed the ongoing post-poll violence by the alleged Trinamool Congress goons and criticised BJP West Bengal observers Kailash Vijayvargiya, Shiv Prakjash and Arvind Menon, and BJP chief Dilip Ghosh for the party’s failure in assembly polls.
“A very close person came crying today. Said a few thousand men who had worked for BJP have been driven out by Trinamooli goons. I am helpless. Of the state leaders KSA have run away. D doesn’t receive calls!” tweeted Tathagata.
Talking to Free Press Journal, the senior BJP leader expressed his concern over the ongoing violence in the state.
On the other hand, slamming Tathagata, Dilip Ghosh said that those who never visit the field take to social media to malign others. “There are leaders who never visit the ground and interact with people, instead they slam others on social media, especially those who actually work for the partyh,” said Dilip to Free Press Journal.
Abhishek and Suvendu face-off
Face-off between TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari continued even on Thursday as the former without taking Suvendu’s name alleged that the department that was managed by Suvendu didn’t work for the people that led to the suffering of several people post cyclone Yaas. “Despite being chairperson of the Digha-Shankarpur development board the person didn’t work for the development of people and instead wasted the money,” said Abhishek. Slamming the TMC govt, Suvendu said that the only agenda of the TMC is to give out fake doles and not work for the people. “The dams, roads and infrastructure are poor in West Bengal as the TMC government didn’t work properly. They have kept a few people who used to just give eyewash of repairing dams by just throwing boulders in water,” said Suvendu.
Alapan replies to show-cause notice
Former West Bengal Chief Secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay and present Chief Secretary HK Diwedi replied to the show cause letter of the BJPled Central government. According to sources, Alapan in his reply has said that since he has to work under Chief Minister and due to the preschedule of visiting the cyclone affected places he could not attend the meeting.
