Everyone wants to be a part of Mamata Banerjee’s developmental agenda: Abhishek Banerjee

Trinamool Congress on Sunday wrested the Behrampore municipality from the Congress after three decades. Seventeen councillors from INC joined Trinamool in the 28-member strong Behrampore municipality. Trinamool’s strength in the municipality now stands at 18.

Trinamool Youth Congress President and MP Abhishek Banerjee announced the joining of the Congress councilors at Trinamool Bhavan. He said that more councillors of the Congress from two other municipalities will soon join Trinamool Congress.

“People are accepting the ideology of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Congress councillors who joined the Trinamool said that they have full confidence in Banerjee for her initiative to develop the state,” he said.

The TMYC President said that Congress will be nowhere in Murshidabad as people believe that the TMC is the real Congress and Mamata Banerjee is the ideal leader. “The Congress has become a Marxist party,” he said. “The Congress’ decision to align with the CPI-M during the last Assembly polls had proved to be a political suicide as the rank and file of the Congress did not accept the alliance. By the end of this year, there would be no sign of political presence of Congress and CPI-M in Bengal, Abhishek said.

“While people have rejected this unholy alliance, those who are joining TMC want to be part of the development process started by Mamata Banerjee,” he said.

 

সকলেই মমতা বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়ের উন্নয়নের যজ্ঞে সামিল হতে চান: অভিষেক বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়

দীর্ঘ তিন দশক পর গত রবিবার কংগ্রেসের হাত থেকে বহরমপুর পুরসভার দখল নিল তৃণমূল। তৃণমূল যুব কংগ্রেসের সভাপতি ও মাননীয় সাংসদ অভিষেক ব্যানার্জীর উপস্থিতিতে এদিন ১৭ জন কংগ্রেস কাউন্সিলর যোগ দেন তৃণমূলে। ২৮ সদস্যের এই পুরসভায় এই মুহূর্তে তৃণমূলের কাউন্সিলর সংখ্যা হল ১৮ জন।

অভিষেক ব্যানার্জি বলেন মুর্শিদাবাদ জেলার আরও দুটি পুরসভার আরো অনেক কংগ্রেস কাউন্সিলর খুব শীঘ্রই তৃণমূলে যোগ দেবেন।

তিনি জানান, মানুষ মমতা ব্যানার্জীর আদর্শে অনুপ্রাণিত। যে সকল কংগ্রেস কাউন্সিলর তৃণমূলে যোগ দিলেন তাদের পূর্ণ আস্থা আছে মমতা ব্যানার্জীর উন্নয়নমূলক কর্মযজ্ঞে।

অভিষেক বলেন, “মুর্শিদাবাদে কংগ্রেসের অস্তিত্ব থাকবে না, কারণ মানুষ বুঝে গেছেন তৃণমূল হল আসল কংগ্রেস ও মমতা ব্যানার্জী হলেন আদর্শ নেত্রী। কংগ্রেস সিপিএমের দোসরে পরিণত হয়েছে। বিধানসভা ভোটে কংগ্রেসের বামপন্থীদের সঙ্গে জোট করার নীতি আত্মঘাতী ছিল যা কংগ্রেসিরা গ্রহণ করেননি। সিপিআইএম ও কংগ্রেসের অস্তিত্ব বাংলা থেকে মুছে যাবে।”
