Trinamool Congress Chairperson addressed a public meeting at Sonarpur in South 24 Parganas district. It falls under the Jadavpur Lok Sabha constituency. She said that the national media is too scared to say anything against Modi. She alleged that the Prime Minister was controlling the entire media.

Highlights of her speech:

The BJP has taken control of the media, the executive and they have even tried their hand at the judiciary and the Constitution as well. And all this is jeopardising democracy. If that happens, then what is the future of the country?

There are so many national channels. Have you seen any one of them saying anything against Modi? I have been in politics for many years and seen so many prime ministers. But never one that has controlled the media like this. It has never happened in the history of the country, and I don’t think even Hitler had done this. No media house can say anything against him without facing adverse consequences.

He is the only prime minister to have manipulated all the central agencies and constitutional bodies. And I and the Trinamool are the only ones speaking out against all this.

The atrocities in UP are many; many people have died because of the torment of the BJP. But no media channel has had the courage to show all this. In Rajasthan too, our people from Murshidabad and Malda have been killed and burnt alive.

Several national media have approached me for interviews. I told them if you don’t have the courage to write what is happening, then go and write whatever you want. But journalists are not to blame. The owners have to run the business. They are threatened that if any news is published or shown against the Modi govt, then a CBI or IT raid will be conducted on them.

The nature of democracy has changed because of this party and its leadership. They are changing everything, removing everything – from the vice-chancellor of Nalanda University to the names of historic places. I am very worried and the people are scared. If these leaders continue, then the whole nature of our motherland will change.

Their policies are dangerous and harmful. From notebandi to taxation, the way they have implemented has harmed and caused misery. They are also imposing the way we eat or what we wear.

The party and its leadership is doing harm in many ways, causing divisions on many fronts, be it religion or caste or even origin.

We have done a lot of good development work in Bangla. But they come once in five years and say nothing is done. They don’t do any homework before speaking here.

He says pujas are not allowed to be conducted in the state. Tell me, is this true? Then why does he say all this? Not at meetings alone, even on social media platforms he is spreading false and fake news.

On last July 21, I had given the call to say oust Modi. Since then he has used all the machinery to create trouble for the state. Now, he is using central forces to get votes cast in his favour. The central forces must follow what the EC has told them, not influence voters like they are doing now. Law and order has to be maintained by the state police.

All vehicles must be checked. But will they have the courage to check Modi’s vehicle? Everything is being controlled by him. Let him try to do anything against me. I am not afraid.

CPM will not get a single seat in Bangla. So don’t waste your vote in favour of the CPM, for that will strengthen the BJP. Voting for the CPM will mean voting for BJP.

Trinamool Congress Chairperson addressed a public meeting at Baruipur in South 24 Parganas district. It falls under the Jadavpur Lok Sabha constituency. She urged people not to vote for the CPI(M), saying that every vote for CPI(M) will only strengthen the BJP.

Highlights of her speech:

They (BJP) have an understanding with the CPI(M) in Jadavpur. They helped the Congress candidates in Baharampur and Jangipur. Every vote for the CPI(M) will strengthen the BJP.

Polling is under way in many places today. Since morning, the central forces have created a lot of trouble, beating up and coercing voters. Law and order is a state subject but they have tried to take control of it.

They must definitely do what they are supposed to according to the EC stipulations, but law and order is not their area. They have illegally beaten up men and women. Even journalists were not spared. The Narendra Modi govt is thinking that they can control the voters with these central forces.

The BJP has looted people’s money in the last five years and they are spending spending it in these elections.

The BJP is changing everything that we knew as sacrosanct. The banking system, central agencies, history, geography, even the constitution is being altered by them.

Why should the BJP get any votes? What work has its govt done for the last five years? He comes and says what development has taken place in Bangal? Is he blind? There are so many areas where improvements have taken place.

Baruipur used to be a hunting ground for the CPM harmads. They used to obstruct anything we used to do, killing and torturing our workers. There were several incidents which I myself have witnessed.

Modi and Shah are full of untruths. They are twisting and manipulating everything to their own advantage with no regard to ethics.

They have even taken over the media. Even the national channels can’t say anything against Modi.

On what grounds does Modi say that Durga Puja is not allowed in Bangla? Saraswati Puja, Kali Puja, all the festivals of all religions are held with equal fervour here. Then why is he spreading untruths?

He is trying to impose their slogans on us. But we know the true national slogans that have given us freedom and led the country.

We do politics for development, but he does it for destruction. Notebandi, unemployment, stagnation, distrust are all his champion causes that have brought about misery and unhappiness for the people of the country.

Trinamool Chairperson addressed a public meeting in Dum Dum constituency (North 24 Parganas district) today. She said that the BJP is scared of losing, and so Narendra Modi and Amit Shah are attacking everybody in sight. Hence, it is time to oust the BJP from power and bring all like-minded parties together to form a progressive government at the Centre.

Highlights of her speech:

Modi and Amit Shah are scared of losing, hence they are attacking everybody in sight.

Reporters often ask me about violence in elections in Bangla. I want to tell them, why don’t you write about panchayat elections in Tripura where 98% seats were uncontested? Or about MP, Chhattisgarh and other States, where elections are not even held in many seats?

I still remember the senseless tortures the CPI(M) had inflicted on the people of the State for working for my party over the years. Singur and Nandigram were only the latest feathers in the cap of their long story of torture.

I have never seen a prime minister who could stoop so low as to call me a ‘tolabaj’ (extortionist).

Modi comes here and says that I have done nothing. Actually he is jealous of me for the way we have transformed Bangla in eight years.

You have not done anything for the poor. You did nothing for Gujarat. In UP, the BJP has created gau raksha committee and killed people, and killed people in staged encounters. For doing all these and more, you will lose badly across the country.

I have all the information about my State at my fingertips – on the other hand, the prime minister has no idea about anything, and comes here and says that we have not done anything.

Modi behaves as if Ram is his election agent, the way he takes his name for everything.

Modi comes here and says that I don’t allow Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja – these are big lies.

I am a Hindu but I look upon people of all religions with equal respect – I believe in unity in diversity.

We, Trinamool Congress, are the only party that has protested against the atrocious policies of the BJP ceaselessly over the last five years.

Jet Airways, BSNL, Dunlop, Jessop – the BJP Government is determined to finish off all the companies. The Centre has not even signed a Bill which would have enabled us to take Dunlop and Jessop over and make them profitable again.

Modi has not given us anything. On the other hand, we have to pay Rs 50,000 crore every year as repayment for debt. What he does instead is take away all our (and other States’) collections from customs duty, excise duty and cess, and give back only 7% of the amount.

What they are doing is dangerous and worse than emergency. They removed Amartya Sen from Nalanda University. The RSS has captured Belur Math and replaced all Swamijis. I wanted to visit Chicago. Everything was ready. But in the last moment, Ramakrishna Mission wrote to me saying the programme has been cancelled “due to unavoidable situation”. Later I learnt, RSS-VHP threatened them

Names of 22 lakh Bengali Hindu and 22 lakh Bengali Muslims have been excluded in the Assam NRC. Even names of Biharis and people from various States have been excluded.

This election is crucial, ti will determine whether the country and its institutions as we know them will exist, even whether elections would ever be held again and the Constitution would remain sacred.
