BJP’s dictionary doesn't have Constitution in it, but only violence: Mamata Banerjee

Kolkata/IBNS/UNI: Asserting that violence has always been a part of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s dictionary, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday alleged that the saffron party's dictionary does not have Constitution in it but only violence.

"They feel there is no progress without violence," Banerjee said adding, "Using violence, they want to saffronise everything. Even petrol pump attendants are made to wear saffron uniforms. "

"BJP has nothing else to offer. If the entire country is saffron, where will the other colours go?" the Chief Minister questioned.

"They attack Dalits, tribals, and minorities. Now, they are asking the religion of reporters before harassing them," iterated Banerjee.

Stating that saffron is a mark of devotion, sacrifice, and purity, the Trinamool Congress supremo said, "People will not accept it if it is used as a symbol of oppression."

"Delhi is the capital of India. We are going to win Delhi, "Banerjee said adding, "This also means that INDIA is going to win. The INDIA alliance was formed to save the country from disaster, communal tensions, and unemployment. "

"Our INDIA alliance is new, and our existence is all over the country. Of course, we will form the government and Delhi is the capital, which also houses Parliament. I don’t know whether intentionally or unintentionally he [Home Minister] has said the correct thing, " commented Banerjee.

"India is our motherland. Therefore, the INDIA alliance is of the motherland, by the motherland, and for the motherland. Whereas there is no value in NDA. For so many years, they held no meeting among themselves. Their allies earlier left them," she maintained.

Stating that the BJP has already begun its planning for the 2024 election, Banerjee said, "They are making various arrangements to hack electronic machines [used in elections]. We have received such information and have already found some evidence. We are also looking for more. This will be discussed during the next meeting of INDIA alliance members, whenever the date for the same is finalised."
