Hakim while addressing a public rally chose to clarify to the people that “vaccine is not a private property of the central government. Every state pays taxes to the centre and it is with that money that a central government is able to run the country” he said.
At today’s rally in Bagnan, Howrah, he criticised BJP government, saying its aspirations to build Ram Mandir will not fetch food for the poor in this country.
The rally led by Sovan Chatterjee and Baisakhi Bandopadhyay yesterday could be termed as the first political campaign by Chatterjee who disappeared from politics in 2018 after resigning from the portfolios, he was holding in the Mamata Banerjee government.
Addressing a public rally in Jiaganj, Mr Hakim said, the British colonial powers came from Gujarat and realised quickly that Bengal isn’t easy to capture and hence murdered Nawab Siraj Ud Daulah to gain a foothold in the state.
Mr Hakim will share the dais with the former urban development and municipal affairs minister when they will unveil a statue of Mahatma Gandhi amid a programme of the civic body here tomorrow. The statue will come up near the Siliguri Post Office on Kutchery Road.
