Balurghat (West Bengal): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lashed out Sunday at the ‘anti-people’ Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal and said the days of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s rule are ‘numbered’.
However, he had to address the rally via phone after his chopper was denied permission to land by the West Bengal government near the venue, approximately 400km from Kolkata. Adityanath’s office later on released a statement that permission was ‘withheld without any prior notice’.
“The TMC government didn’t allow me to come and meet you all. That is why I had to resort to Digital India of Modi-ji to address you. This TMC government is anti-people, anti-democratic and have compromised with national security,” Adityanath said, while addressing the rally via audio link.
Alleging that the TMC government had tried to stop Durga Puja in West Bengal in order to pursue its appeasement policy, Adityanath urged BJP workers to fight hard in order to ensure that the party forms the next government in the state.
“Mamata Banerjee should remember that she cannot misuse the government and its agencies in the state. It is shameful that government officials are acting as TMC cadres in West Bengal,” Adityanath said.
