Posted on | by aitc | Leave a Comment on Congress is CPM’s ‘B team’: Abhishek Banerjee at Garbeta

Congress is CPI(M)’s ‘B’ team in the state and in Delhi it is vice versa, Trinamool Youth Congress President and MP Abhishek Banerjee said. He was addressing a meeting of party activists at Garbeta in Paschim Medinipur.

The TMYC President has been holding meeting in the districts at a stretch and Tuesday’s meeting saw a huge gathering making it a mass rally.

Abhishek laid stress on the developmental wave undertaken by the State Government under Ms Mamata Banerjee and asked people to see for themselves the change that has taken place within a space of four years.

The TMYC President pointed out that Garbeta had been suffered under the dictator-like rule by the CPM.  Mamata Banerjee had realised that to bring back democracy in Bengal, it was necessary to oust the CPM and as a result, Trinamool Congress was born in 1998, he said. He pointed out that the oppressed people of Paschim Medinipur had answered the call of Mamata Banerjee and driven out the Left from the Paschim Medinipur district in a democratic way.

The young Trinamool MP pointed out that what the Trinamool-led Government in Bengal could do in four years, the Left government did not achieve 10% of that in 34 years.

এদিন অভিষেক বলেন, ‘মমতা বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় বুঝেছিলেন যে বাংলায় গণতন্ত্র প্রতিষ্ঠা করতে গেলে বাংলাকে সিপিএমের অপসাশনকে মুক্ত করতে হবে। তাই তিনি ১৯৯৮ সালে তৃণমূল কংগ্রেস তৈরি করেছিলেন। পশ্চিম মেদিনীপুরের নিপীড়িত মানুষ মমতা বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়ের ডাকে সারা দিয়ে গণতান্ত্রিক পদ্ধতিতে পশ্চিম মেদিনীপুরকে সিপিএম মুক্ত করেছেন’।

তিনি আরও বলেন, ‘তৃণমূল সরকার গত ৪ বছরে যা কাজ করেছে গত ৩৪ বছরে সিপিএম তার ১০ শতাংশও করতে পারেনি’।
