Cooch Behar, Apr (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on
Thursday slammed the BJP government at the Centre for allegedly
using the federal agencies like the CBI and ED and appealed to the
people not to kowtow.
" It is better to rely on a poisonous snake but not the BJP as the
Prime Minister and his party want to have monopoly in every respect," Banerjee said while addressing an election rally in support of TMC
candidate Jagadish Chandra Barma Basunia for Cooch Behar seat.
Cooch Behar, Alipurduar and Jalpaiguri seats have the first phase of
polling on April 19.
"The BJP is going to poll with central agencies and we won't bow
down to it," Banerjee reiterated.
Banerjee also mentioned the Sitalkuchi incident in which CISF firing
killed five people during the 2021 Assembly poll.
The TMC supremo, who is the face of the ruling party in the electoral
battle, said the BJP must be taught a lesson because it did not
"respect"
the model code of conduct.
The saffron brigade was manipulating the
central agencies, she alleged and also slammed the Congress, CPI-M and the Indian Secular Front.
