Trinamool Congress should be banned immediately: Dilip Ghosh
Launched a scathing attack on the TMC, Dilip Ghosh has accused the Mamata Banerjee-led party of institutionalising corruption, extortion and political violence across West Bengal.
Launched a scathing attack on the TMC, Dilip Ghosh has accused the Mamata Banerjee-led party of institutionalising corruption, extortion and political violence across West Bengal.
West Bengal Panchayat, Rural Development and Animal Resources Development Minister Dilip Ghosh on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the previous Trinamul Congress (TMC) administration, alleging that “threat culture”, corruption and administrative irregularities had crippled governance in the state for years.
According to Ghosh, the previous administration failed to adequately respond to public grievances and neglected issues affecting ordinary people across the state.
Amid the ongoing demolition operations, Dilip Ghosh issued a strong warning against illegal occupation of public land, asserting that bulldozers would be used wherever unlawful structures are found.
The FIR was registered on May 15 at the Bidhannagar North Cyber Crime Police Station against Abhishek Banerjee over alleged provocative and threatening remarks delivered during election rallies across West Bengal.
Majumdar claimed that the attack on Ghosh was pre-planned with the intention to kill him. "Opposition has been suppressed in Bhabanipur and there was a conspiracy to kill Dilip da. It was only to create an atmosphere of fear," he said.
National TV channels showed Ghosh being pushed and heckled on a road as a posse of security guards tried to shield him. A suspected TMC supporter was seen grabbing a security man by his collar who swiftly pulled out a pistol to scare away the crowd.
“The law and order situation in the area is not conducive to holding by-poll. If an MP can be attacked, then imagine the situation common voters are facing. I demand postponement of polling till the situation normalises in Bhawanipore...till the time its conducive for holding a free and fair election,”
Ghosh, said, “The constant attacks by TMC workers on us is evidence enough that Mamata Banerjee is losing ground in her home turf. Her defeat is unavoidable. How else can these desperate attacks by the TMC workers be explained?”
The decision to bring in a new West Bengal president is being seen as part of the BJP's efforts to reinvigorate its organisation in the state amid desertions by a number of its leaders. However, party sources said that the move was aimed to fill the post of the vice president which fell vacant after Mukul Roy switched back to Trinamul once again.
