"Mamata Banerjee is destroying Hindu Bengalis": WB LoP Suvendu Adhikari - World News Network

Paschim Medinipur (West Bengal) [India], July 16 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and the Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, lambasted Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of “destroying” Hindu Bengalis.
Adhikari on Tuesday claimed that while the BJP is protesting against the presence of Rohingyas, the West Bengal Chief Minister is “protecting” them.
“Mamata Banerjee is holding a protest tomorrow in support of Rohingyas. We will be protesting against the Rohingyas. Whatever Mamata Banerjee is doing is to protect the Rohingya Muslims. Mamata Banerjee is destroying the Hindu Bengalis,” West Bengal LoP said.
This statement came against the backdrop of the BJP’s ongoing accusations that the TMC is supportive of the Rohingyas in the state.
Earlier on Sunday, Union Minister and BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar slammed West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee over her claims of exploitation of the Bengali community under the BJP-ruled states, stating that the “Hindus” of West Bengal are uniting to remove the “pro-Pakistan” government in the state.
Speaking to ANI, Sukanta Majumdar mentioned that whenever Mamata Banerjee faces a dilemma, she “resorts” to chanting the “Bengali” mantra.
“Whenever Mamata Banerjee faces a dilemma, she resorts to chanting the Bengali mantra… The Hindus of Bengal are uniting to vote against Mamata Banerjee and remove the pro-Pakistani government to bring a pro-Hindu government,” Sukanta Majumdar told ANI.
The BJP leader asked if Mamata Banerjee truly cared about the Bengali people, then she would have sent so many “non-Bengali” people to become MPs in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
“If Mamata Banerjee truly cared about the interests of Bengal’s people, she would not have sent so many non-Bengali people from West Bengal to become MPs in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Mamata Banerjee has kicked Bengalis in the stomach by making these non-Bengali people MPs and reducing the number of Bengali MPs in Delhi,” Majumdar told ANI.
Majumdar alleged that Mamata Banerjee and her party want to “forcibly” grant citizenship to Bangladeshi people so that TMC remains in power in the state.
“Mamata Banerjee and her party’s effort is to forcibly grant citizenship to Bangladeshi people, thereby altering Bengal’s demographics to keep the TMC government in power in Bengal… Mamata Banerjee and her party are trying to ensure that a Muslim becomes Bengal CM in the coming years,” Majumdar said.
Meanwhile, on July 12, the Trinamool Congress took out a protest march against the National Register of Citizens (NRC). It condemned the alleged harassment of migrant Bengali-speaking individuals from several BJP-ruled states and branded them as “Bangladeshis”. (ANI)
