as the Governor Trinamool Congress (TMC) She gained control of West Bengal in the Panchayat electionsThe party’s number two, Abhishek Banerjee, said on Tuesday that the “loud mandate” would pave the way for the party’s performance in next year’s Lok Sabha elections.
He thanked the people of West Bengal for voting for his party in the three-tier panchayat elections and while digging into the main opposition party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said the ‘No Vote for Mamata’ campaign had morphed into ‘Now Vote for Mamata’. “.
“Grateful to the people for turning the opposition’s ‘No Vote For Mamata’ campaign into ‘Now Vote For Mamata’. With the unwavering support of the Trinamol Napo Jawar (New Wave) wave, we will certainly have a vocal mandate paving the way for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Bengal, thank you for all Love,” he tweeted, referring to opposition leader Sufundu Adhikari’s slogan “No vote for Mamata” during the panchayat elections.
“Even a malicious campaign with baseless propaganda to malign the state government in West Bengal could not influence the electorate,” added the TMC national general secretary, who led the party’s campaign with Jono Songog Yatra at state level ahead of the panchayat elections.
State Minister Babul Supriyo, who was with the Bharatiya Janata Party before joining the TMC, criticized the main opposition party. “The BJP seems to be struggling to find solid ground… The people of Bengal have spoken loud and clear, shutting the door on their divisive politics once again.”
But the Bharatiya Janata Party accused the ruling Transitional Military Council of “looting” the votes. BJP MLA Suvendu Adhikari, who defeated Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram in recent assembly polls, said that had the elections been conducted in a “free and fair manner”, the TMC should not have won more than 20,000 panchayats.
Adhikari added that the finding was not surprising given the violence. Our central leaders are not upset because it was clear from the start that the TMC would win. They have indulged in rampant electoral bad practices and unleashed a reign of terror… Therefore, this is not the true reflection of the people’s mandate,” he said.
Meanwhile, in Delhi, the Bharatiya Janata Party called the violence “state-sponsored” and asked why other opposition leaders were staying silent. According to media reports, at least 45 people were killed. Bombing, bogus voting and fraud are the most frequently used words in the reports… This is the word ‘nirmamata’ (cruelty) and not ‘mamata’ (lovable),” claimed BJP’s national spokesperson, Sambit Batra.
