Coming down heavily on the BJP, Abhishek Banerjee, Trinamul Congress national general secretary said the saffron party is actually selling India and the Indian Constitution to get more votes.
In his X handle Mr Banerjee wrote: “BJP4India Runs on an E2 policy. The first, E, the@ECISVEEP is used as a weapon to strip citizens of their voting rights. If that fails the second E, the @dir_ed, is unleashed as a political weapon.”
He said the BJP is letting loose the ED to scare the opposition leaders. “The ED withdraws the cases against the corrupt leaders when they join the saffron party,” he mentioned.
Mr Banerjee said today the sole purpose of the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill is to crush the opposition and not to weed corruption. This is dictatorship in disguise, he mentioned.
Mr Banerjee said the BJP is against the federal structure of India. “It believes only in autocracy and wants to demolish the neutrality of all the agencies,” he said.
He said the Election Commission is conducting Special Intensive Revision (SIR), which is nothing but silent rigging; the ECI’s only purpose is to give the BJP benefit. “ECI does not want the opposition to exist. Knowing well that the BJP does not have enough seats in both houses of the Parliament, the BJP tabled the 130th Constitutional Amend Bill just to create confusion among the people. Whenever it gets an opportunity it tries to scare people.”
Mr Banerjee said the BJP is against the farmers and working class. “Despite repeated requests by the Opposition, the Speaker of Lok Sabha did not allow any discussion on SIR,” he said, adding, “The BJP is silent on the attack and harassment on the Bengali-speaking migrant workers. When Amit Malviya said Bengali is not a language, he was not cautioned by the party. BJP is anti-India and is selling our country,” he said.
