Kolkata, Sep 19 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, now on a trip to Germany to
draw investments for the state, has charged the Central Government with being a ' fully
anti-people ' government.
' It does not do not do anything for the benefit of the common people. On the other hand, it spends crores on advertising. Naturally, all the people of the country are against the government at the Centre. The BJP will lose handsomely in the election, ' she said.
Talking to a vernacular daily, Ms Banerjee said, ' The next year’s election will be a referendum against the BJP. People have seen what the Central Government has done all these years. They know that if the BJP comes to power again, it will be the biggest disaster for the country. They have also realised that if the BJP returns to power, the country will not remain united. '
“Yes, a referendum. Everyone everywhere will vote against the BJP. They have brought so much distress to the common people that everyone is now against them. They are practising the politics of revenge against everyone opposing them. The people of the country are now united. A revolution is going to take place in India in 2019 – revolution through the ballot. The BJP will be defeated. Remember that my politics has always been for the sake of the people; hence I can understand what they want,” Ms Banerjee said.
The chief minister said, “The country will be gifted a stable and strong government because the government will be formed based on what the people decide. All parties will come together to work for the betterment of the country. The fight through ballot will be between the BJP and the common people. Hence who will become the prime minister will also be decided after we win the election.”
Regarding the Bagree Market fire, the Majerhat Bridge collapse, Ms Banerjee said, “We do not do politics with disasters. It is our obligation to help the people affected by disasters. However you must understand that these markets and bridges were not built during our time. Many of the constructions completed earlier were done without following rules. Even panchayats were given the responsibility to build bridges. However we do not do such things.”
