TMC’S ANTI-DALIT FACE SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD BY BENGAL, SAYS NADDA

‘While we salute Ambedkar, I also feel the anti-Dalit feelings by Mamata Didi. This is unfortunate even after several years of Independence,’ the BJP national president says.

BJP national president JP Nadda on Wednesday said that people of West Bengal should understand the TMC’s anti-Dalit face and cast them out from the state in the ongoing Assembly elections while commemorating BR Ambedkar’s 130th birth anniversary.

Speaking at a public rally in Mangalkot, Nadda said: “However, while we salute Ambedkar, I also feel the anti-Dalit feelings by Mamata Didi. This is unfortunate even after several years of Independence. Just now, a TMC leader used a word for our Dalit brothers. I cannot use the word at this stage. She said that Dalits always keep asking.” “I feel sad that Mamata di, who has been the Chief Minister for 10 years, has not spoken a word to condemn this. This is TMC’s anti-Dalit face that we should understand,” he added.

The BJP national president further mentioned that people should use their votes to keep members of such party at their homes, which is against Dalits.

Further commemorating the memory of Ambedkar, Nadda said: “While we are celebrating his 130th birth anniversary, we remember the contributions of our constitution maker. He has also fought against discrimination and propagated the feeling of togetherness with the people. He has suffered a lot. The Constitution with which he has provided us will continue to inspire us forever.”

Campaigning on the behalf of BJP candidate Rana Pratap Goswami, Nadda claimed that people have decided to develop the area by making him the MLA of Mangalkot, adding that he will lead Bengal to a new direction from Mamata Banerjee’s government of dictatorship, extortion and corruption. “Mamata asked people to surround the CAPF jawans. See where this frustration has reached. Will you keep such a Chief Minister? A permanent ban should be imposed on her,” he added while lamenting that there was no financial aid from the state government for rice and potato farming in the Mangalkot area.
