Modi Government is the biggest threat to the country: Mamata Banerjee at Pandua

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today addressed a public meeting at Pandua in Hooghly constituency. In her speech she said that the Modi Government is the biggest threat to the country.

She added that it is our misfortune that Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister. She urged people to defeat the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Highlights of her speech:

Modi Government is the biggest threat to the country
They have destroyed all the constitutional institutions. Democracy is under attack
It is our misfortune that Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister
The CPI(M) committed torture against Opposition workers for 34 years. The harmads have become BJP’s ustads
Those who orchestrate riots, practice divisive politics, do not deserve to rule the country
The BJP claims it is a Hindu party. How can that be? Hinduism is an ancient religion. BJP was formed only a few years ago
BJP uses Hinduism for politics. They bring shame to our Gods and Goddesses
Neither Hindus, nor Muslims participate in riots. Leaders like Narendra Modi organise riots for political reasons
What have they done in the last five years to deserve your vote?
We work for people of all communities, castes and creed. We do not discriminate against anyone
Like you see ‘440V – Danger’ signs, BJP is also dangerous for the country
Those who were initiated in politics through riots are saying mothers in Bengal are worried about the safety of their children
Modi is a blatant liar. He is spreading falsehoods about Bengal without any homework
They are distributing money. They are luring people to their rallies by offering money
They are organising rallies with maces and swords. This is not Bengal’s culture. Have you ever seen such rallies during Basanti Puja?
Falsehoods and propaganda is their only strength.
The Prime Minister, instead of bolstering peace, is inciting people into violence
Some untoward incidents happened. After investigation, CID found out that those were cases of suicide. But they are claiming those are political murders. They are trying to spread tension
Like Kalidas axed the branch he was sitting on, Modi is also dividing the country
CPI(M), Congress and BJP have come together in Bengal
He intimidates everyone – from industrialists to media houses. Even other political leaders are afraid of him. But I have struggled against the CPI(M)’s brutal regime. I am not afraid of anyone
Narendra Modi does not visit Bengal when there are floods, droughts or any other problem. Like a seasonal bird he comes here only during elections
In the name of NRC and Citizenship Amendment Bill, they want to declare you as foreigners and drive you away. Don’t let them get away with their divisive politics

Marketing a gesture of courtesy is not conducive in democracy: Mamata Banerjee at Suri

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today addressed a public meeting at Suri in Birbhum district. In her speech she attacked the Prime Minister and said marketing a gesture of courtesy is not conducive in democracy.

Highlights of her speech:

Modi babu has said I send him kurtas. Where is the problem? We send gifts to all during Durga Puja. We have opened the Biswa Bangla brand. We are empowering our artisans. We send these products not just to Modi babu but everyone. We don’t publicise it like Modi babu. Courtesy and politics are different. I send letters on birthdays to everyone.
Marketing a gesture of courtesy is not conducive in democracy.
I heard that yesterday the Prime Minister said we raise ‘goons’ here. He also said that Bangla did not witness any development. Another ‘signboard’ leader said Birbhum is Rabindranath Tagore’s birthplace. They don’t have any knowledge. They don’t do any homework
They say that nothing has been done in Birbhum. I challenge them to prove me wrong. After Trinamool came to power, 99% families in this district have got some benefit from the government.
In Birbhum the largest coal mine in the country is coming up. I want to know from Narendra Modi he delayed the process for three years by not signing an MOU. I want an answer for that.
This is a project worth Rs 12,000 crore and thousands of locals will get employment. Your government hasn’t done anything about it under your instruction, as you don’t want to give Bangla anything.
Just for the lack of an MoU, work cannot be started. I have called and enquired several times and the only answer I got is that the Prime Minister has said no. So, don’t you feel any shame?
You want to know what Mamata Banerjee has done? First you answer me, give an explanation. Then point your finger at me. First you answer, then ask for votes.
We worship with flowers. Their worship involves armed rallies with mace and swords. This is not the culture of Bengal
Bengal does not tolerate riots. Like a human body is incomplete without all organs, the society is incomplete without all communities
I belong to a simple family. They are calling me goon. If I am a goon, what are you? I have never orchestrated riots. We don’t do politics of violence. Do you remember 2002 Godhra riots?
They are controlling the media. Journalists are afraid to speak out or else they will be killed
I cannot be intimidated. I have fought against the Left. I have been beaten up but I never gave up. I am not afraid of Narendra Modi
They are suffering from the fear of defeat. That is why they are coming to Bengal so often to campaign. They can never be seen during disasters or accidents. They come here as seasonal birds
The more you abuse us, they higher the mandate will be in our favour
They are bringing boxes full of money. This is the money of people. This money was looted during demonetisation
Do not allow anyone to buy your votes for money. Cast your vote without fear
Earlier he used to call himself a chaiwallah. Then he gave up his kettle for Jaitley. Now he pretends to be a chowkidar
Teach these rioters a lesson. Bring about a change in government at Centre. Give them a democratic burial

Fate of the elections have been sealed today: Mamata Banerjee at Arambagh

Posted on April 23, 2019 | by aitc | Leave a Comment

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today addressed a public meeting at Arambagh. She said that the fate of the Lok Sabha Elections 2019 have been sealed with the third phase of polling.

Highlights of her speech:

It is our misfortune that all elections are held in Bengal in the summer heat. We had tried to hold Panchayat polls in March but our opposition parties did not allow that
Lok Sabha elections are being held in seven phases, with campaign over three months. This has been done to give advantage to BJP Babus so that they can get adequate time to campaign
The country has never seen a situation like this before
A 100 bedded medical college and 500 bedded hospital is coming up in Arambagh. Two multi super speciality hospitals, health centres have been set up
A Green University is coming up at Tarakeshwar
We are formulating Arambagh Master Plan which will help in flood prevention
We have also taken up Lower Damodar Basin Project for a cost of about Rs 3000 crore. It includes irrigation projects, constructing embankments and flood prevention measures
A new road connecting north and south Bengal is also coming which will benefit people
Arambagh has now become a hub of development. In the past this region was neglected
New roads and bridges are coming up in the district for the benefit of the people
ITIs, polytechnic colleges, Kisan Mandis, Karma Tirthas, model schools, colleges and even four 100 MT paddy godowns have also been set up
We have started drinking water supply project at a cost of Rs 70 crore
We are setting up a monument in memory of Tapasi Malik, our young martyr in Singur
This election is for government formation at Centre. People will decide the Prime Minister. This is not a mandate for Bengal Government
Apart from loot and torture, has CPI(M) done anything for the people Arambagh?
We have not forgotten how political violence was the order of the day here and fear ruled the roost here
We have to love people, care for them. If someone errs, they must seek forgiveness
In 2011, our slogan was ‘change not revenge’ that is why we did not act against the CPI(M) goons. The harmads of CPI(M) have now become BJP’s ustads
The BJP goons are roaming the streets with arms in hand
The PM is running a merchandise shop – he is doing everything for self-publicity
Some traitors have joined them and are asking for central forces
I have heard that central forcers were sitting inside booth number 166, 167 in Englishbazar in Maldaha Dakshin and influencing the elections. In Itahar also they were asking voters to cast their vote in favour of BJP
I want to ask the forces to do their jobs instead of campaigning for any party. After Modi goes out of power, they have to work with us
The husband of BJP’s Maldaha Dakshin candidate is sending central forces from Delhi. And they are influencing elections here. We have already lodged a complaint with the Election Commission
Even the Army is being called Modi Sena. We salute the armed forces, they serve the nation. The BJP has lost their mind
Do not vote for BJP even if they offer money or intimidate you
‘Signboard babu’ is saying Mamata Banerjee is afraid because she can’t rig polls anymore. I want to ask him, what has happened in Tripura? The polls were completely rigged there
How many central forces were sent to Gujarat, Bihar, UP? How many officers were changed? They are only targeting Bengal. Remember, Bengal will show them their place
They are targeting Bengal because I speak against them. People of Bengal will give them a fitting reply. People of Bengal cannot be intimidated
They are asking for an account of the work done by Mamata Banerjee. Why should I give you an account? I will give an account to the people of Bengal during Assembly elections
Where were you when there was flood in Arambagh? During natural disasters, we stand by the people. They only come here like seasonal birds during elections. People will send them away
He used to call himself a chaiwallah before 2014 polls. Now he pretends to be a chowkidar
He promised to bring back black money and deposit Rs 15 lakh in every account. Has he done that? No
He declared Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes invalid overnight. Now people will declare his government invalid. More than 12,000 farmers committed suicide under his watch
Earlier he used to call everyone Mitron. Now he does not use that term because everyone is his enemy now
They are unable to draw crowds at rallies. The TRP of Modi’s face is down. They are spending crores of rupees for organising Bengal rallies
The fate of the elections will be sealed today. People are saying enough is enough. Modi babu aar na. Amit Shah aar na
He travelled the world for four and a half years and has turned up now to seek votes
He is using the names of jawans to seek votes. I want to ask them not to politicise the forces
All the institutions have been compromised. If they come back to power, democracy will be finished. They will not allow anymore elections
They do not believe in Hinduism. They have one religion – riot-mongering. I want to tell them – do not bring shame to Hinduism and the name of Ram
We believe in the Hinduism of Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Maa Sarada and Swami Vivekananda. We do not believe the lies of BJP
They would orchestrate some disturbance and blame it on minorities. People must be wary of the RSS pracharaks. Keep an eye on them
We provide rice at Rs 2/kg. We provide free healthcare, scholarships like Kanyashree or Sikshashree. We have distributed one crore bicycles under Sabooj Sathi
We have waived off mutation fees and khajna tax on agricultural land
We pay the full premium of crop insurance for farmers. We offer compensation to farmers affected by natural disasters.
We have started Krishak Bandhu scheme under which farmers will get Rs 5,000 per acre annually
If any farmer between the ages of 18-60 years passes away, their families will get Rs 2 lakh
BJP Govt is a failed govt run by Dushashan and Duryodhan. Let every vote you cast be a slap on the face of the BJP
They have committed crimes against Dalits, Adivasis, farmers, minorities
We have given forest rights to tribals, which they want to take away
More than 2 crore people have lost their jobs in the country
Even your money will not be safe in the banks. Using Aadhaar they are trying to snoop on you – from bank accounts to mobile phones
The country is in a dire situation. Bengal will show the way for progress
Do not vote for the Congress and the CPI(M). They are working in tandem with the BJP

There will now be poriborton in Delhi too: Mamata Banerjee at Khanakul

Posted on April 23, 2019 | by aitc | Leave a Comment

Trinamool Congress Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today addressed a public meeting at Khanakul in Hooghly district. She once again reiterated that the death knell of the BJP has rung and hence the time for poriborton has come in Delhi too.

Highlights of her speech:

Many areas in this region are flooded during the monsoons when the DVC releases water. We have created the Arambagh Master Plan to prevent floods. The DVC is not in our hands as it is a Central organisation, so in spite of our telling them to release water slowly, they don’t listen to us.
We have taken up another project to control flooding and improve irrigation – Lower Damodar Basin Project
A new road project to connect south and north Bengal is also under progress
This is an election for the Lok Sabha election, to decide the next government at Centre
Elections being held for a period of two months. Modi Babu and his people are going around in luxury and we are all suffering (in the heat)
From pensions to payments under 100 Days’ Work, all governmental work, developmental work is suffering
After winning the Lok Sabha election last time, Modi babu was touring foreign countries for four and a half years
They are scared to go to many places now but are turning up in Bengal like seasonal birds. Do they come here during natural disasters? Never
They have killed Gandhi Ji, and they don’t care about Netaji, Tagore, Babasaheb Ambedkar. They have destroyed the Constitution and undermined many institutions
Now they are only intimidating people through ED and the CBI, but they won’t be able to scare Bangla
This is the first prime minister who people are so scared of. Now mothers are putting their children to sleep singing lullabies about the scary Modi
The death knell of Modi Government has been sounded. It’s time for them to go. There will now be poriborton in Delhi too
He promised to create 10 crore jobs in five years. Instead, two crore people lost their jobs in 2017-18
Modi announced demonetisation, for controlling black money and stopping terrorism, but on the other hand terrorism has increased by 260%
Modi suddenly demonetised money – all money – by force. Now extinguish his power buy voting him out. You have the power.
They suddenly imposed the NRC – affecting 22 lakh Assamese Bengalis
These saffonites are fake – they are not true Hindus and don’t belong to any religion either
They don’t know about the culture of Bangla We follow Shri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Maa Sarada
We perform Durga Puja, Lakshmi Puja as well as celebrate Eid, Christmas and other festivals. They are telling people to do “goda puja” (mace worship)
The BJP is a “goda party”, “tarowal party” (sword) – going around doing mischiefs in mosques. There some shorts-wearing people who are going around creating trouble. Beware of them
They are telling lies that I don’t permit Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja in Bangla.
The ‘terrible twins’ who are going around spreading lies about me should have their mouth shut with Leucoplast.
We have never seen such a shamelessly lying Prime Minister
The mutation fees and khajna tax on agricultural land have been waived off for farmers
We provide Rs 5,000 per acre of land annually under Krishak Bandhu scheme. We also bear the full premium of crop insurance.
We have launched Swasthya Sathi smart cards. They will be issued in the name of women, because they are ones who run the family. More than 7.5 crore people will be entitled to the benefits
Students of all castes are studying in schools – many are getting scholarships too
We are giving training in ITIs and jobs thereafter. The Utkarsh Bangla Scheme has won a UN award.
I follow humanism. I too am a Hindu but my elders never taught me to hate other religions.
For NRC, they are asking for documents – like the pre-1951 birth certificate of your mother. How many people can furnish these documents?
Through Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, they are trying to take away your citizenship rights and turn you into foreigners. Only after six years would you be re-considered. But why? You are already a citizen, then why do you need to provide proof of that again?
I had visited the Tripureswari Temple once. Even at other places, wherever I have gone to worship, when the priests ask me about my gotra, I say my gotra is Maa-Mati-Manush gotra.

Unlike Modi, we fulfill all the promises we make: Mamata Banerjee at Purbasthali

Posted on April 22, 2019 | by aitc | Leave a Comment

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee addressed a public meeting at Purbasthali in Purba Bardhaman district.

Highlights of her speech:

This region was hit by a storm yesterday. We are with those who were affected. Our govt will allocate at least Rs 300 crore for relief and rehabilitation. You have nothing to worry about.
Bardhaman is the rice bowl of the state. We have undertaken a big project for irrigation
A major road project, connecting north and south Bengal, has been started.
A bridge is coming up that will connect Kalna and Shantipur and will improve connectivity.
Several ITIs and polytechnic colleges have been set up in this district. After training, the youth are also getting employment opportunities.
More than 60 lakh SC/ST students have received scholarships. Kanyashree scheme has been extended to universities now. More than 70 lakh girls have been empowered
We have waived the khajna tax and mutation fees on agricultural land. Our government bears the full cost of the crop insurance scheme for farmers.
Swasthya Sathi smart cards will be issued in the name of women, recognising them as the guardian of the family. 7.5 crore people will be entitled to this health insurance scheme
This is not an election to decide who will form the government in Bengal. This is an election for the government at Centre
Earlier, they used to wear half pants and run around. Now they have turned their party office into a shopping mall, with loads of money in their coffers
What is happening in the country? Dalits and minorities are being persecuted. More than 12,000 farmers have committed suicide.
Notebandi has also been a major cause of distress. It has destroyed families, industries and created chaos. Now you have an opportunity to remove this govt that has caused so much distress.
We fulfill the promises we make, unlike Modi Babu who is full of lies. What has he done in the last five years? He has looted people and toured the world over, while people plunged into poverty and distress.
Put an end to the BJP misrule. The CPM harmads have crossed over to their side and are creating trouble in the state.
Maa Durga has weapons in her hand, but they do not look good in the hands of humans. The BJP goons are roaming the streets with swords and maces
They are moving around with loads of money and trying to buy votes. Don’t fall into their trap.
Let every vote you cast be a tight slap for Modi and BJP
He only makes tall promises. He intimidates everyone, including leaders of his own party. But I am not afraid. I have struggled against the CPI(M) and I have been beaten up many times.
Trinamool and other regional parties will form the next government at Centre.
We are also Hindus. But we have never been taught to hate other religions. We can never indulge in politics of discrimination
They want to drive people away in the name of NRC. We will not allow this. In the name of Citizenship Amendment Bill, they want to take your citizenship away. Do not allow their conspiracies to become successful
Trinamool MPs have had a good performance in Parliament in the last five years

Country needs a people’s government: Mamata Banerjee at Itahar

Posted on April 16, 2019 | by aitc | Leave a Comment

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today addressed a public meeting at Itahar in Uttar Dinajpur district (Balurghat Lok Sabha constituency). She said that the country needs a people’s government. She also said that United India Government will be formed at the Centre.

Highlights of her speech:

My best wishes to all on the occasion of Bengali New Year. Shubho Nobo Borsho

Whenever any disaster occurs, our government always stands by the people. From floods to accidents – we always work for the welfare of the people

From setting up Karma Tirthas to ITIs, Kisan Mandis to paddy procurement centres – we have taken a lot of initiatives for this district

As Railway Minister, I had started the Eklakhi-Balurghat line. I sanctioned the Gazole-Itahar, Raiganj-Itahar, Itahar-Buniyadpur lines also. But the Centre has left these projects incomplete. When our government comes to power at Centre, we will complete these projects

I had started several trains like Janmabhoomi, Raja Rani, Padatik, Kanchan Kanya and others

North Bengal was neglected in the past. We created a new secretariat Uttar Kanya in north Bengal

We have set up the Circuit Bench of Calcutta High Court in Jalpaiguri. People of north Bengal will no longer have to go Kolkata for administrative work

A new university and medical college have been sanctioned for this district. Loans worth Rs 4,000 crore have been sanctioned for small industries and subsidies worth Rs 2,000 crore have been given to them

We have taken measures for exporting Tulaipanji rice (famous rice variety of Uttar Dinajpur). We are also promoting the jute industry of Dinajpur. Many industry clusters have been set up

We have registered 2 lakh folk artistes under Lok Prasar Prakalpa

We have removed the income ceiling for Kanyashree scheme. All girls in government schools are now eligible for the scholarship

We have distributed Sikshashree scholarships to 68 lakh SC/ST students. Caste certificates are now issued within a month

Getting caste certificates is a cumbersome process – because of the 50 year old documents that need to be provided. If we come to power, we will review this process

We have distributed scholarships to 2 crore minority students.

We have encouraged 70,000 minority students to take up higher education

Khajna tax and mutation fees have been waived for agricultural land. We have waived off mutation fees on inherited land. We bear the full cost of crop insurance for farmers.

We have started the Krishak Bandhu scheme. Farmers will receive Rs 5,000 per acre of land annually in two installments

When a farmer passes away, their family will receive financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh

From birth to death, we have a scheme for every stage of life for the welfare of people

From free healthcare to free education, rice at Rs 2/kg, to renovation of crematoriums and burial grounds – we have done it all

We have renovated and developed the pilgrimage sites across Bengal, including Pakhiralay in this district

We believe in Sarva Dharma Samannay. We do not endorse politics of division

This election will decide who will form the government at Centre. This is not an election for the formation of government in Bangla

People ask what has Arpita Ghosh done? Our Trinamool MPs have been vocal on people’s issues in Parliament – from price rise to NRC, against citizenship bill, demonetisation

Arpita Ghosh met with an accident few years ago. She was hospitalised for a year. She had no chances of survival but miraculously survived

Arpita is a prominent theatre personality. She is a fighter. She speaks in favour of Bangla in Parliament. She always asks me for more developmental projects for Balurghat constituency

In the last five years, BJP has not done anything for the people. They have failed to create roti-kapda-makaan for the people

They promised to create 10 crore jobs in five years. Instead, 2 crore jobs lost in 2017-18

They wanted to sell off Air India. We fought against it. BSNL employees are not getting their salaries. Jet Airways is on the verge of closure

We have given job security to contractual and casual workers. Retirement of college professors has been increased

We are issuing Swasthya Sathi smart card to women, recognising them as the guardian of the family. More than 7.5 crore people will be entitled to health insurance, with a cover of Rs 5 lakh annually

More than 12,000 farmers committed suicide across the country. This government committed crimes against Dalits, minorities

The country needs a people’s government. Bengal and UP will decide who will form the next government at Centre. The United India Government will come to power

Every vote counts. Do not waste your vote by voting for the Congress. Neither BJP nor the Congress can form the government on their own. Voting for the CPI(M) will strengthen the BJP

Congress has adjustment with BJP in places like Jangipur and Baharampur

Modi used to say he is chaiwallah. For four and a half years, he was busy touring the world. Now he says, he is chowkidar. We do not need a chowkidar. We need a leader for the country

We respect and salute real chowkidars but not those who sell-off the country, divide people and carry our propaganda and armed rallies

I am also Hindu. We believe in the Hinduism preached by Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Paramhansa.

Weapons look good on Maa Durga’s hands, not yours. That is the difference between gods and humans. How can you throw the model code of conduct to the wind?

Hinduism is a liberal religion. Hinduism teaches us to be tolerant. Hinduism teaches us about humanism.

Remember, Islam is also a religion of piety. We respect diversity. We respect all faiths. That is what communal harmony means. We believe in unity

I attend Durga Puja, Eid, Christmas, Guru Parab, Chhath Puja as well as festivals of Jains. This is our culture and heritage

I am ready to sacrifice my life but won’t allow politics of hate and division

The twins, Jagai-Madhai, are saying they will implement NRC in Bengal. Why have you excluded names of Bengali Hindus in Assam NRC? Why have you excluded Biharis, Gorkhas?

After the draft NRC was published, our delegation was not allowed to enter Assam and was assaulted. But we have not given up our fight

Under Citizenship Amendment Bill, you will become a foreigner for six years. There is no guarantee that they will give citizenship to you after that. Everyone who came to India till March 25,1971, is an Indian citizen

If BJP comes to power, Dr Ambedkar’s Constitution will be destroyed. Democracy will be destroyed. You will lose your freedom

We have to remove the riot-monger from his chair. We have to establish a pro-people government at Centre

Every vote for CPI(M)-Congress, is a vote wasted: Mamata Banerjee at Chopra

Posted on April 10, 2019 | by aitc | Leave a Comment

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today addressed a public meeting at Chopra in Uttar Dianajpur district. She said that despite winning from this seat in the past, BJP, Congress and CPI(M) have done nothing for the people. She also said that every vote for CPI(M)-Congress, is a vote wasted.

Highlights of her speech:

In the past, BJP, Congress and CPI(M) have won from Darjeeling seats. They have done nothing for the people
This time the election is for the ouster of BJP from power. You have to ensure that Modi babu does not become the PM again
Last time, BJP candidate won from Darjeeling. He did a vanishing act after that
A vote for the Congress and the CPI(M) is a vote waste as it will benefit the BJP
Amar Singh Rai is a bhumiputra of the Hills. He was an MLA. He is a go-getter. He is a local person, not someone imposed by Delhi
We do not Darjeeling to burn. We do not want violence in Siliguri. Hills and plains will work together
BJP comes to Bengal only during elections and disappears after that
CPI(M), Congress and BJP have become one, like Jagai-Madhai-Godai
Trinamool will lead the formation of the next government at Centre. Trinamool will lead the change at Centre.
Five years ago Modi babu was chaiwallah. Now he has become chowkidar. After elections he will have to hide under hangars
He has spent four and half years travelling around the world.
They carried out lynchings in the name of gau-raksha. They persecuted minorities
Chowkidar is a thief, liar, riot-monger. Do not vote for him.
All the institutions have lost their credibility. They intimidate the media
They bring people from outside during election, distribute money to win votes. Ensure that they do not win
They promised they will create 10 crore jobs in 5 years. But 2 crore jobs lost in just one year
Demonetisation destroyed the economy. Tribals and Dalits have been persecuted in the last five years
They want to drive away everyone in the name of NRC. They will not be able to touch even one person in Bengal
They had prior information about Pulwama attack. Why did they not take action action? We lost our brave jawans in the attack; we are really sad about that
Replacing officers will not bear any fruit. Officers do not vote, people do.
They want to bring the Citizenship Amendment Bill, which will declare you a foreigner for six years. We will not allow the Bill to pass
We have to protect the unity and harmony of the country. I will sacrifice my life but never allow the country to be divided

Our garbage is getting tickets in BJP: Mamata Banerjee at Falakata

Posted on April 7, 2019 | by aitc | Leave a Comment

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today addressed a public meeting in Falakata, Alipurduar. In her speech she slammed the BJP for giving ticket to a person responsible for violence in Terai-Dooars.

Highlights of her speech:

A separate district of Alipurduar was a demand of the people. We fulfilled it

People wanted a multi-super speciality hospital and university in Alipurduar

We have set up Rajbanshi and Kamtapuri Academies apart from recognising Rajbanshi, Kamtapuri, Kurukh, Nepali, Ol Chiki, Gurmukhi and several languages

We have our own health insurance scheme Swasthya Sathi, with a cover upto Rs 5 lakh. 7.5 crore people will benefit. The cards will be issued in the name of the women of the family (to empower them).

We are giving Rs 5,000 per acre annually to farmers under Krishak Bandhu scheme. We are paying the entire premium of crop insurance.

Khajna tax and mutation fees on agricultural land have been waived off.

We have spent Rs 7,000 crore to provide Kanyashree scholarships to 60 lakh girls

We have distributed cycles to 1 crore students so that they can easily go to schools

We want every section of the society to become self-sufficient

This is not an election for Bengal Assembly. This is an election for forming government Centre

People are asking for an account of the work done by Centre in the last five years

We provide rice at Rs 2/kg to people while unemployment has increased under Modi

We have created 1 crore employment opportunities, while 2 crore people lost their jobs in 2017-18

They are offering money to people to attend their rallies and vote for them. It is not their money. It is people’s money

Seasonal birds from other States are coming to Bengal during elections. They are monitoring your actions

Before 2016, they promised to reopen closed tea gardens. Did they keep their promise? No. Instead, we have opened a tea garden today

We provide 35 kg food grains (15 kg wheat and 20 kg rice) to the people of tea gardens at 47 p per kg

Chit fund scams happened during Left rule, not during our government. I dare them to prove any link of Trinamool with chit funds

The main accused leader in chit funds was sharing the stage with Modi today

He claims to be the chowkidar now. Five years ago he was chaiwala. People are saying chowkidar chor hain. I will say, chowkidar is jhoota

Bengal will show the way in future. We will play a significant role in the formation of next government

They have kept women and children in detention camps in Assam. Five Bengalis were murdered in cold-blood.

Names of 23 lakh Hindus and 20 lakh Muslims, Gorkhas, Biharis have been removed from NRC

NRC will never be implemented in Bengal

Bengal does not believe in your culture of violence and riots. We are ready to give our lives but will never support violence

You are already citizens of the country. Why would you give up your citizenship for six years? We will never allow the Citizenship Amendment Bill

BJP has sowed seeds of division in the country

He was busy touring foreign countries for five years and now is seeking votes in the name of chowkidar now

The garbage discarded by us is given tickets for elections by BJP

Seasonal birds of BJP visit Bengal during elections only: Mamata Banerjee in Jalpaiguri

Posted on April 7, 2019 | by aitc | Leave a Comment

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today attended a public meeting at Churabhandar in Jalpaiguri district. In her speech, she said that the seasonal birds of BJP visit Bengal during elections only, while Trinamool works for the people throughout the year.

Highlights of her speech:

North Bengal was neglected for years on end. The region lagged behind in development
We set up the a mini-secretariat – Uttarkanya – in Jalpaiguri district
We set up the Circuit Bench of Calcutta High Court in Jalpaiguri. The PM only made false claims – our government allocated funds and land for setting it up
We set up world-class Biswa Bangla Krirangan in Jalpaiguri. We started Bhorer Aalo tourism project in Gajoldoba
We have started a new road project connecting north Bengal with Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh
One closed tea garden has reopened today. We congratulate the workers
Before 2016 polls, Modi babu and his ministers said they will take over closed tea gardens. They did not keep their promise
They are seasonal birds who can be seen only during elections. We are working for the people 365 days a year
I regularly come to north Bengal. I am working hard for the progress of this region
They are creating divisions between Hills and Terai-Dooars. The BJP candidate was responsible for violence and tension between Hills and Terai-Dooars
The BJP is stoking the fire of violence in Hills and we are dousing it
Where was the BJP when the Hills were burning? Now when peace reigns in Bengal, they are coming here with a bouquet of lies, out of envy
This is not an election to elect the CM of Bengal. This is an election for the Lok Sabha
Where were you for the last 5 years? Now you have come here just before elections
Where was Modi baby when north Bengal was suffering from floods? Have you no shame, seeking votes now?
We passed a resolution to change the name of the State twice in the Assembly but they have even blocked that. What is your problem with ‘Bangla’
They are killing people in the name of gau-raksha. They should be ashamed
They are offering money to people to attend their rallies and vote for them. It is not their money. It is people’s money
You can take the youth to your rally by offering money. What will happen after elections? Will they get jobs?
I have worked with many prime ministers in the past. I have never seen a PM with such low mentality, so uncouth and lacking courtesies
Sarada-Narada-Hawala leader is now BJP leader. He was sharing the stage with the PM today. Our party expelled him
He is conducting rallies with person accused in hawala case
They say Didi is afraid. Yeah sure. Didi fights from front. She is not afraid of lock-up. Didi has been attacked many times. My life has been one of struggle
Women will not take any insult lightly. They run the family as well as the nation. Do not underestimate them
They are spreading lies in the name of army and central forces
They think they can win elections by shifting out some officers. If the Chief Secretary of Andhra Pradesh can be changed, why should union cabinet secretary not be changed?
Chief Ministers of Karnataka and Andhra are being raided by CBI. They are misusing the agencies to target the Opposition
When you will be out of power, no one will listen to you. People will reject you
From RBI to CBI, everyone is saying bye bye
He used to say he is chaiwala. After 5 years, he has turned into chowkidar
The real chowkidars, who guard the ATMs, are not getting salaries. Why are BSNL employees not getting salaries?
We have our own health insurance scheme Swasthya Sathi, with a cover upto Rs 5 lakh. 7.5 crore people will benefit. The cards will be issued in the name of the women of the family (to empower them). Why should we pay 40% funds for Ayushman Bharat?
We are giving Rs 5000 per acre annually to farmers under Krishak Bandhu scheme. We are paying the entire premium of crop insurance.
Khajna tax and mutation fees on agricultural land have been waived off.

My best wishes to the new voters. You must ask the ‘Expiry Prime Minister’ what happened to the promise of generating 10 crore jobs
In 2017-18 alone, 2 crore people lost their jobs due to demonetisation
They promised to bring back black money and deposit Rs 15 lakh in every bank account. Have you received it?
They only carry out canards and propaganda.
In this election, bring about change in the government at Centre. Bengal will have a decisive say in the formation of next government
They are threatening to throw people out of Bengal in the name of NRC. I dare them to even touch one person, we will show them their place
As per the Citizenship Amendment Bill, you will lose your citizenship for six years. Then if they want they will give you citizens. Why? You are already citizens. Those who came to India before March 25, 1971, are citizens of India
We have told the people of Assam, if they are thrown out, Bengal will give them shelter
Modi is very scared of Mamata Banerjee because when everyone else remains silent, we raise our voice in protest
They do not believe the Constitution. They want to change history.
It was our government that set up Panchanan Barma University in Cooch Behar. We set up the Rajbanshi Academy.
We gave official language status to Rajbanshi, Kamtapuri, Kurukh, Nepali, Ol Chiki, Gurmukhi and many other languages
The youth of the nation must rise and bring about change at Centre

Money power being used in elections: Mamata Banerjee in Mathabhanga

Posted on April 4, 2019 | by aitc | Leave a Comment

Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today addressed a public meeting at Mathabhanga in Cooch Behar district. In her speech she said that the BJP will do away with elections if voted back to power, and Ambedkar’s Constitution will be destroyed.

Highlights of her speech:

A bridge is coming up, connecting Mekhliganj and Dinhata. I have named it “Joyee Bridge”.

Another bridge has been constructed, which I have named Bhawaiya Setu

Nearly 19-20 bridges have been built here, spreading the wave of development in Cooch Behar district.

I come here throughout the year, unlike my predecessors who neglected the region.

We gave land for the enclaves (Chhitmahals) and took the initiative to solve the problem. No other party cared before us. The Expiry Prime Minister had no role in this. It was done entirely by us.

We have allocated Rs 1,100 crore for the development of Chhitmahals. We have given them land rights

We have set up Panchanan Barma University in Cooch Behar, along with engineering & medical colleges, ITI, polytechnics, Karmatirthas, Kisan Mandis, blood banks, Mother and Child Hubs, industrial clusters for small-scale industries, among other things.

During demonetisation, we gave the needy families Rs 50,000 each to set up businesses.

Five years ago, the Expiry Prime Minister called himself a chaiwallah. Now he calls himself a chowkidar – people are saying, “Chowkidar chor hain”, I say, “Chowkidar jhootha hain”.

This is the first time so much money is being spent in elections. The PM has never helped the people. On the other hand, they have taken away the money which the common people had saved.
The youth of today, the brave young voters of today, will bring new hope

More than two crore people lost their jobs in one year.

The expiry PM is just doing big talk. He promised Rs 15 lakh per account, but he gave nothing. He fooled you into voting for him.

Now he’s taken on the garb of a chowkidar. In reality, many chowkidars all over are losing jobs, are in a desperate state.

We work for the people all the year round, not just during the elections.

The Centre has failed to create jobs. More than 12,000 farmers committed suicide.

They are killing people in the name gau-raksha.

They are threatening to send Bengalis out of the country in the name of NRC. Let them even attempt to do that.

They are stained with the blood of riots. They lack the basic courtesies of politics.

Some media houses have been intimidated into towing their party line. I appeal to the media to be fearless.

Modi is now talking about the welfare of Rajbanshis. Where were you till now?

They made false promises even to Bimal Gurung on the issue of Gorkhaland

He’s saying I don’t allow Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja in Bengal. It is absolutely false

In the upcoming elections, like Maa Durga killed Mahisashur, the mothers of the country will slay Modi democratically

They are trying to intimidate us using agencies like the IT, ED and CBI. We are not scared of them.

Now, the new drama is to insult the armed forces – Army and CRPF. They are calling them “Modi Sena”

The armed forces are impartial institutions. Modi cannot misuse them. The BJP cannot misuse them.

If they come back to power, they’ll destroy Ambedkar’s Constitution – even do away with elections.

NRC & Citizenship Amendment Bill will take away your citizenship for six years. Then they will consider anew if you can be granted citizenship. Therefore you will lose your houses, lands, passports, bank accounts, every opportunity provided by the government. Never let them do this to you

No party other other than the BJP has supported the NRC.

A delegation of Trinamool went to Assam to meet the people affected by NRC. They were assaulted.

I have promised the people of Assam affected by the NRC, that if you are thrown out of Assam, Bengal will welcome you

Modi Babu is saying what development has happened in Bengal? How will he know if he doesn’t come here ever?

Ensure that we win 42 out of 42 seats. Bengal will play a significant role in the formation of the next government at the Centre.

Let everyone from every region in the country live in peace.
