Mamta will launch 'BJP Bharat Chhodo' programme from August 9
July 21, 2017
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday fired a new salvo
at the BJP and said that the TMC would launch the 'BJP Bharat Chhodo' movement on August 9.
Addressing
the Martyr's Day rally in Kolkata commemorating the 1993 Kolkata firing,
Mamata also accused the Union Government of not allowing the State
Governments to work.
"We are residing in India at a time when we
do not know whether we have our democracy or not. Also the Hindus do not
know if they can live with respect due to fake Hinduism. Don't know if
Dalits, or Muslims can survive with dignity," she added.
Attacking the BJP Government on demonetisation, Mamata called it one of the "biggest scams".
"The
BJP had made crores of money during demonetisation. The Reserve Bank
till date hasn't given any calculation of the total collection. We want
an investigation into the demonetised money. It's the biggest scam ever.
Employment has gone down in the country due to demonitisation," she
added.
Mamata also accused the Left of supporting the BJP secretly.
"If
the TMC was not dedicated, we would not have replaced left, we will not
allow the BJP to win a single seat from here," she said.
Mamata
also blamed the Centre for the unrest in Darjeeling and said, "The
unrest in the hills is a game played by Delhi, but we will not allow it
for long."
The Trinamool hold the Martyrs' Day rally annually on
this day in memory of the 13 youth who were killed in the police firing
on this day in 1993.
