"BJP wave across West Bengal," says BJP chief Nitin Nabin in East Midnapore

BJP chief Nitin Nabin claims a pro-BJP wave in West Bengal, alleging corruption and appeasement by TMC ahead of the state's assembly elections.

"Today there is a BJP wave across West Bengal, and now the time has come for the TMC to be ousted. - Nitin Nabin"

East Midnapore, April 20

BJP National President Nitin Nabin on Monday asserted that a "BJP wave" is sweeping across West Bengal, claiming that the "time has come for the Trinamool Congress to be ousted from power."

"Today there is a BJP wave across West Bengal, and now the time has come for the TMC to be ousted. The time has come for the BJP to come in, and the enthusiasm among the people shows that this time, the people of West Bengal are on the streets against corruption, appeasement, and the oppression of women. A double-engine government will be formed under the leadership of (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi... Today, (Chief Minister) Mamata Didi of TMC has done the work of deceiving Maa, Mati and Manush. Now Mamata Didi's time is over...," Nabin told reporters here.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday charged the incumbent TMC of "oppressing" religious practices and stressed that Bengal needs a "double-engine" government. "

Addressing a rally in Purulia, the Chief Minister said, "... TMC oppresses Ram devotees and stops Durga Puja... Bengal's soil is the land of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa... I have come here to pay obeisance to such sacred soil... Bengal needs a double-engine government... The TMC government, crossing the peak of appeasement, robs the poor of their rights..."

West Bengal will go to assembly elections in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with counting on May 4. West Bengal has a total of 294 Assembly seats, with the majority mark set at 148.

In the 2021 Assembly elections, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) secured a decisive victory, winning 213 seats with a vote share of 48.5 per cent.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the main opposition, winning 77 seats with a vote share of 38.5 per cent. Smaller players, including the RSPMA and independent candidates, won one seat each. The total declared seats stood at 292.

As a Bengali, I feel these claims of a "wave" are exaggerated. Didi has done a lot for women's empowerment and social welfare schemes. The BJP is trying to import a polarising narrative that doesn't fit Bengal's secular fabric. Let the people decide peacefully.

Yogi Adityanath is right. The way Durga Puja and other Hindu festivals are being interfered with is unacceptable. Bengal is the land of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and should respect all faiths equally. Time for a change.

I hope the election focuses on real issues like jobs, infrastructure, and healthcare, not just religious rhetoric. Both parties need to present a concrete vision for Bengal's future.

The 2021 results show TMC has strong roots. BJP improving from 3 to 77 seats was a wave, but calling for ousting a 213-seat government needs more than just speeches. They must prove they have a better local leadership plan, not just central faces.

Enough of this "Maa, Mati, Manush" betrayal talk from both sides. We common people want peace, safety for our daughters, and good schools. Please stop the violent clashes and let us vote in peace. 🙏
