Eid ul-Fitr: “will not let Modi ji snatch away our rights,” says CM Mamata at Red Road in West Bengal
“Still, we won't be scared. Jo darte hain, wo marte hain. Jo ladte hain, wo zindagi mein kamyab hote hain,” she added.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said she will continue her fight against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list by the Election Commission of India and will not let “Modi ji snatch away our rights.”
Speaking on the occasion of Eid ul-Fitr, after people offered namaz at Red Road in Kolkata, Mamata said, “"...People's names were deleted in SIR. I went from Kolkata to Delhi, from Calcutta High Court to the Supreme Court for this. I hope that people's rights are safeguarded. I stand with everyone in Bengal, with all castes, communities and creeds. I will continue this fight...”
She accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of attempting to “forcibly control” the state government and to “impose President's Rule.”
“Still, we won't be scared. Jo darte hain, wo marte hain. Jo ladte hain, wo zindagi mein kamyab hote hain,” she added.
She further accused the BJP of being a party of “thieves and goons,” and “traitors.”
West Bengal is set to go to the Assembly elections in two phases, scheduled for April 23 and April 29, with the counting of votes taking place on May 4.
Counting of votes will also take place on the same day for three other states and one Union Territory going to the polls in April this year.
There are a total of 824 seats, and around 17.4 crore eligible voters will be participating in these elections across all four states and one Union Territory, according to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar as announced last Sunday.
