Ahead of the second phase of voting, the election campaign in West Bengal has reached its peak. The ongoing war of words between the BJP and the TMC leaders has also intensified in the midst of the electoral turmoil. Meanwhile, Suvendu Adhikari said that Mamata Banerjee should get herself treated. The way she used abusive language against the PM, we do not want to give such an answer to people.
Adhikari also appealed to the public not to vote for TMC for not allowing Bengal to become a mini Pakistan. "If Mamata Banerjee's government is formed in West Bengal, Bengal will become a mini-Pakistan," he said.
Slamming the Chief Minister for her appeasement of the minority community, Adhikari also said that Begum (Mamata Banerjee) used to wish Eid Mubarak so often that she wished Holi Mubarak to all of you today.
"Mamata Banerjee used to say Eid Mubarak and such was the habit that she congratulated people on Holi with Holi Mubarak. Don't give vote to Begum. If you vote for Begum, this will become mini Pakistan. Begum knows no one except Sufiyan," said Adhikari after paying obeisance at a local temple.
The comments of Adhikari came at an unscheduled stop at Khodambari 2 in Nandigram, metes away from where the Chief Minister is to address a public meeting.
Attacking the Chief Minister, Adhikari said that Begum has changed suddenly and is visiting temples now as she fears defeat.
The contest for Nandigram is intensifying, which polling is scheduled for Thursday, with both Mamata and Suvendu making personal attacks at each other. While Suvendu is playing on the sentiments of Hindu voters, highlighting the alleged appeasement policies by the Mamata government, the TMC chief has termed Adhikaris as traitors who are taking help from "goons from Uttar Pradesh".
The former TMC minister is promising Yogi like administration in Bengal if BJP comes to power. "Just like Yogi Adityanath, the way he is administering his state, we too will govern. If Uttar Pradesh can do transformation, we too can do it," said Adhikari.
Nandigram is going to polls on April 1, the second phase of polls out of eight phases that will see Bengal voting for 294 Assembly seats.
