TMC calls Amit Shah's Kolkata rally as ' flop show'
Kolkata, Aug 11 (IBNS): The ruling Trinamool Congress on Saturday attacked BJP President Amit Shah's Kolkata rally and called it a 'flop show'.
"BJP have just concluded another flop show in #Bangla After the flop meeting BJP are looking for excuses.They are saying their meeting was blacked out. Black outs and blackmailing is what BJP do. Don’t insult the media. All showed. We challenge BJP. Either they prove it or resign," the ruling Trinamool Congress tweeted.
Attacking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the illegal immigrants and vote bank politics, BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday beginning his speech at the Kolkata youth rally of the party said the huge gathering proved that there is going to be a change in West Bengal. He attacked the TMC chief over NRC as expected.
Chanting Bharat Mata Ki Jai and remembering the Bengal's greatest icons, Amit Shah said: "Listen Mamata-ji. Listen with all ears. You cannot stop us or silence us. We will go everywhere. You cannot stop our voice in a democracy."
She put up banners all along the route from airport denouncing us, but we cannot be anti-Bengal because the very genesis of our party is in Bengal, said Shah.
"We are not anti-Bengal. We are anti-Mamata and anti-TMC. I have come here to tell the people of Bengal what is NRC (National Register of Citizens) on which she opposed us. NRC is about evicting illegal immigrants from Bangladesh in Assam. Should we not evict illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. You cannot stop us on NRC. We will finish it lawfully in Assam," he said.
Shah said the same Mamata Banerjee had created pandemonium in Lok Sabha over illegal immigrants.
But now she is doing vote bank politics over illegal immigrants, said Shah
Shah said even Rahul Gandhi is not clearing his stand on NRC because of vote bank politics though Rajiv Gandhi had signed Assam Accord.
:"Is not there a threat from illegal immigrants? Are not blasts in Bengal triggered by them? Do you not want them to be out of Bengal?
Shah arrived at the venue of the party's much-publicised youth rally at the Mayo Road of Kolkata at around 1-10 pm. A huge crowd gathered at the venue to listen to Shah who is likely to attack the ruling Trinamool Congress and set the tone for the 2019 polls in the state.
