West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee declared on Monday that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not voted out of power this time, it will lead to a breakdown of the Constitution. Speaking at election rallies, Banerjee stated, "We will go to Delhi and remove NRC-CAA-UCC while also resuming MGNREGA work."
She further expressed her frustration with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), stating, "I have never seen a party so insolent that they do not even show basic political courtesy to their opponents." She also criticized the BJP for spreading false information about the minority community, saying, "Sometimes, they claim that the minority community will take away the reservations of the scheduled communities. Why? Our minority brothers and sisters would never do such a thing. The reservation of the Tapashilis is a constitutional right that cannot be taken away."
Banerjee also addressed the recent incident involving the Ramakrishna Mission, clarifying that she has no animosity towards the institution. She said, "How could I disrespect an institution? Just a few days ago, I visited Maharaj when he was unwell. I only mentioned one or two people. We have good relations with Bharat Sevashram Sangha and I appreciate their work for the people."
The Chief Minister then explained the reason behind her mention of Kartik Maharaj, who she claims did not allow a Trinamool Congress agent and was responsible for the violence in Murshidabad's Rejinagar before the polls. She stated, "I have no issue with his ashram being there, but when I inquired about the absence of AITC agents in that area, I was told that Kartik Maharaj had threatened to not allow our agents. He is using religion to do the BJP's work, but he should do so openly and not from behind the curtains."
Banerjee concluded by asserting that her allegations were backed by evidence, stating, "I do not speak without evidence. I only spoke about what I had seen and heard."
