Senior BJP leader and Union Minister Amit Shah today launched the Bharatiya Janata Party’s “Paribartan Yatra” from Raidighi in South 24 Parganas, asserting that the people of West Bengal were now seeking change. Mr. Shah said the people in the state are distressed under what he described as the misrule of the ruling All India Trinamool Congress. In his address, Mr. Shah mounted a sharp attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress leadership. Alleging the prevalence of dynastic politics, he claimed that in West Bengal, there were attempts to promote Abhishek Banerjee as the next Chief Minister.
He also alleged that corruption was rampant under the present dispensation and accused the state government of allowing development to slide. The Union Home Minister further raised the issue of infiltration, reiterating the BJP’s long-standing charge that illegal immigration was a major concern in the state. He asserted that his party was committed to ensuring that infiltrators would be removed from the country.
Mr. Shah inaugurated the yatra in the presence of state BJP president Sukanta Majumdar and other party leaders. The BJP has announced that the Paribartan Yatra will be taken out from nine different locations across West Bengal as part of a statewide mobilisation campaign ahead of the Assembly elections.
Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah today promised that employees of the government of West Bengal would get the much-anticipated 7th Pay Commission if the BJP is voted to power in the upcoming Assembly election. He assured this in his Parivartan Yatra rally today. Mr Shah alleged the Mamata Banerjee-led government in West Bengal is ignoring the Supreme Court verdict of paying outstanding Dearness allowance to the state government employees. He said the Bharatiya Janata Party BJP would fulfil the aspirations of the government employees in Bengal if it is voted to power.
Mr Shah also said that all the vacant and cancelled posts under the government of West Bengal would be filled by December this year. He alleged that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has failed to address the unemployment.
