Panaji: Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury slammed Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee. In his attack he claimed that for pleasing BJP, Mamata Banerjee contested Goa polls. There is a war eruption between TMC and Congress now.
Calling Mamata Banerjee BJP’s dalal he said, “As of today, the Congress has 700 MLAs across India. Congress won a 20 per cent vote share of the opposition. Mamata Banerjee is trying to please the BJP, to be its “dalal (agent)”. That is why she is saying many things today.” He was protesting against the killing of Bengal student leader Anish Khan.
On Friday after the counting of votes ended and the results were out, Mamata Banerjee said, “There was loot and malpractice of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). SP chief Akhilesh Yadav should not be disheartened and should ensure the EVMs are put through forensic tests.”
To this statement made by Banerjee, Chowdhury questioned that why Congress was blamed. He said, “She has no relevance in national politics. Hence, she is sometimes blaming the EVM and sometimes the Congress. Why are you blaming the Congress? Become the prime minister on your own.”
Further he asks if BJP was happy with her. He said, “You went to Goa to make the BJP happy. Mogambo khush ho gaya! You defeated the Congress there to increase your ratings with the BJP. Everyone knows Mamata Banerjee broke the Congress in Goa.” He also questioned that in five states how many seats were won by TMC?
To the remarks made by Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh replied by showing Congress a mirror of their failure. He replied, “Congress has been failing to prove itself since 2014. Congress was defeated badly in Punjab and in Bihar earlier. How is it possible that the TMC helped the BJP beat Congress? Last time in Goa, Congress MLAs defected to the BJP. They failed to save their own. We got a six per cent vote share in Goa. 2024 is far now. Our policy for the Lok Sabha election is that all anti-BJP, democratic and progressive parties should come together. Let’s talk.”
