Trinamool Mahila Congress to protest against misogynist remarks of Opp

The Mahila Trinamool Congress will bring out a rally today to protest against the disparaging remarks of BJP state unit president against women in general and Chief Minister Ms Mamata Banerjee in particular.

The rally will start from College Square and come to an end at Rani Rashmoni Road.

“What he said is an insult not only of the chief minister but the women of the state. We can not understand how such a remark can be made by a sensible man. We demand that he apologises before women or we will keep on agitating through the state,” Chandrima Bhattacharya, President of Trinamool Mahila Congress, said at a media conference at Trinamool Bhavan.

BJP Burdwan rally a big flop show: Partha Chatterjee

Partha Chatterjee, Secretary General, All India Trinamool Congress, today addressed a press conference at Trinamool Bhavan.

Here is what he said:

  • Today’s BJP rally at Bardhaman was a flop-show. Main speaker’s speech lasted only a few minutes.
  • People who have no capacity to bloom shapla, are talking of lotus blooming in Bengal.
  • I hope Amit babu has understood it is difficult for lotus to bloom in Bengal.
  • The political culture of Bengal has no place for bad utterances like “Bhaag Bhaag”.
  • Mamata Banerjee has a long history of struggle and people’s movements in Bengal. BJP has no such history.
  • BJP’s campaign is based on only propaganda. They want to uproot TMC from power through missed calls.
  • If Rahul Sinha cared about Bengal, he would speak out against Center’s negligence towards the State.
  • The way Mr Rahul Sinha used the name of a particular community, in a derogatory manner, is deplorable.
