Politics of divisiveness not to be tolerated by the people of Bengal: Mamata

Politics of divisiveness not to be tolerated by the people of Bengal: Mamata

Kanksa, Dec 11 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today warned politics
of divisiveness will not be tolerated by the people of Bengal.
Addressing a public meeting here in West Bardhaman district, Ms Banerjee said, “We
will not allow divisive politics in Bengal. Those who indulge in divisiveness, people will
teach them a lesson politically.”
She said this is the land of Rabindranath and Nazrul. “We respect Ambedkar, Gandhiji,
Swami Vivekananda, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.”
“A lot of people from other States work in Bengal. We consider them our own. Our people
will go to other places, people from other States will come to Bengal – isn’t this normal? We
cannot drive others away from Bengal. We love them,” she said.
“A Dalit man was killed in Gujarat because he went to a dandiya festival. They did not
allow Padmavati to release. An innocent man was burned alive in Rajasthan. How long can
we allow these incidents to continue?” the chief minister questioned.
Ms Banerjee said, “They cannot stand the fact that we oppose their (anti-people) policies.
So they want to stop all funds to Bengal. We were affected by floods but did not receive a
single penny. But Assam and Bihar (both BJP-ruled States) receives Centre assistance.”
She said there are attempts to cause riots by spreading falsehoods and peddling lies. They
kill Adivasis and Dalits but feed lies to Adivasis here. I urge you all not to believe their canards.
“Do not pay heed to lies and slander. Some people peddle lies to besmirch our characters, to
incite violence and riots. Bengal will never tolerate these conspiracies,” Ms Banerjee remarked.
The chief minister said, “Our aim is to work for everybody. We do not differentiate on the
basis of religion.”
“A man was burnt to death in Rajasthan. Why should this happen?” she questioned.
Ms Banerjee said, “Trinamool does not follow the culture that the BJP speaks of. We do
not like that culture. We will fight politically. Let others speak ill, we will not. The
Ma-Mati-Manush Government is a government for everyone. Every human being is equal to
me.”
