SAGARDIGHI (MURSHIDABAD) : Alleging there was a BJP-Congress tie-up behind the scenes for the February 27 Sagardighi bypolls, TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Sunday claimed “one vote to Congress is a vote to lotus”, further saying: “A vote to Congress means a vote to strengthen BJP’s hand in implementing NRC. ”
At a pre-poll rally, the TMC leader said: “I want to question opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari and Pradesh Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury as to why no raids take place against BJP or Congress leaders in Bengal. Why only target Trinamool?”
“BJP leaders openly proclaim that the central investigative agencies work at their behest. They claim that whichever opposition leader they want to target, these agencies will question them. We have MLA Jakir Hossain here; just last month, he had to face an I-T raid,” he said.
The leader also displayed aphotograph of Congress’s Sagardighi candidate Byron Biswas with Adhikari.
“What do we call such Mir Jafars?. . . Adhir babu roams around with CRPF protection. He does not trust Bengal’s police force but has complete faith in Amit Shah’s security forces — the same Amit Shah who wanted to implement NRC in Bengal,” Banerjee said.
Byron said the photo of him with Adhikari had been taken when the latter was with Trinamool. “The same photograph had other TMC leaders. Would the same be said for others too?” he said.
Chowdhury rubbished Banerjee’s charges. “This kusti in Delhi and dosti in Bengal between TMC and BJP also baffles us,” he said.
