Ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has taken a swipe at the central government, claiming that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) might conduct the December election for itself as all choppers have been booked by the saffron party for campaigning.

Mamata Banerjee takes a swipe at BJP ahead of LS polls

Addressing a TMC youth wing rally, she has cautioned that a third term for the BJP would ensure the country faces an ‘autocratic’ rule.

The Bengal chief minister has also blamed some people engaging in unlawful activities for the illegal firecracker factory blasts that happened in the state, alleging that this was being done with support from a few police personnel.

“If BJP returns to power for the third consecutive term, the nation would face an autocratic rule. I am apprehensive that they (BJP) could hold the Lok Sabha elections in December 2023 itself…,” Mamata Banerjee said.

She added, “The saffron party has already turned our country into a nation in the throes of animosity among communities. If they return to power, it will make our country a nation of hatred.”

Meanwhile, the chief minister has claimed that the saffron party has already ‘booked all choppers’ to campaign in the Lok Sabha polls scheduled for this year’s December, so that no other political party can use those for canvassing.

The TMC supremo also said that she had defeated the three-decade-long CPI(M) rule in Bengal, and will now defeat the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Hitting out at ABVP and BJP activists who raised ‘goli maro’ slogans at Jadavpur University row, Mamata Banerjee said that she had instructed the police to arrest those involved in the hate slogan at the earliest.

“Those raising such slogans should not forget this is Bengal; this is not Uttar Pradesh,” the chief minister said.
