Mamata Banerjee Claims BJP Will Be Defeated Across India In Lok Sabha Polls

The “Khela Hobe” slogan of the TMC had become immensely popular during the high-octane campaigning of the assembly election held earlier this year.

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday at a rally in Kolkata claimed that that the BJP will be defeated across the country in the next Lok Sabha polls due in 2024, and said that the party would face similar drubbing that it had tasted in the last assembly polls in the state.

While addressing a rally for the December 19 Kolkata Municipal election (KMC) at the Phoolbagan area in the city, Ms. Banerjee said her sole aim after returning to power for the third consecutive term in the state is to bring industry and generate jobs.

The rally is Ms. Banerjee’s first public function after her return from Goa on Tuesday, where she had gone on a two-day political visit.

“During the assembly polls, we have seen the campaign that the BJP had unleashed in the state. Everybody was afraid of it. But the people of the state defeated them. Bengal is a place of communal harmony. What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow. We will defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. It will meet the same fate as it had faced in the last assembly polls,” she said.

“I want to see the BJP lose across the country in the 2024 elections. It will be Khela Hobey (there will be a game) again,” she said.

The “Khela Hobe” slogan of the TMC had become immensely popular during the high-octane campaigning of the assembly election held earlier this year.

“We have opened a new unit in Goa. In Tripura too, we have expanded. In Tripura, we have faced a lot of atrocities,” she said.
