Defeat this unholy alliance as it has no ideology: Mamata Banerjee
Taking a dig at her political opponents, Trinamool Congress Chairperson Mamata Banerjee on Friday mocked at the CPI(M)-Congress alliance, calling it “unholy”, and urged people to defeat the combine as it has no “ideology”.
“The CPI(M)-Congress alliance is an unholy one. Defeat this unholy alliance as it has no ideology,” Mamata Banerjee said at her poll campaign in Sabang in Paschim Medinipur district. Launching her tirade against the Congress, she said, “The party has deviated so much from its principle and ideology that it doesn’t even hesitate to forge an unholy alliance with the CPI(M) which had carried on attacks on Congressmen in Sabang and other places in the State several times and even killed many Congress workers in the area as well as in other parts of Bengal.”
“I have come to Sabang and its adjacent Pingla several times since the time of undivided Congress and I know how the then ruling party, CPI(M) ill-treated the Congress workers. Now the Congress has entered into alliance with the CPI(M). The Congress should be ashamed of its act,” Banerjee said.
Directing her ire towards the Congress, she added, “The Congress today is so much devoid of its principle and ideology that it has no qualms to join hands with an all-time enemy. I had left the Congress much earlier, anticipating its erosion in values and ideology,” Banerjee said.
“During the rule of the erstwhile Left Front Government, people were in panic in the entire State. The entire opposition was humiliated by the then ruling party who are known for their acts in Singur, Nandigram, Netai, etc. People should reject those who join hands with the CPI(M),” she said.
About putting Jangalmahal on the path of development, she said “The erstwhile Left Front Government did not pay any attention to developmental work in the State, but we have undertaken major development work and have restored peace in the disturbed areas like Jangalmahal and in the Darjeeling hills.”
Mamata Banerjee called upon the people to cast their votes for Trinamool Congress candidates.
