Haldia: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today attacked BJP, calling it the world’s largest ‘extortionist’. She said that it should never be allowed to rule the state. In particular, the BJP has been accusing the state of cultivating a culture of cut-money, corruption and extortion (Tolabazi).
Banerjee, speaking at an election rally in Haldia in East Midnapore district, also accused the saffron party of orchestrating riots, killing people and torturing Dalit girls.
“BJP is the biggest ‘tolabaz’ (extortionist) in the world… Just see the amount of money it collected under the PM Cares Fund. If the people of West Bengal want peace and a state free from riots, then the Trinamool Congress is the only option,” she asserted.
“A party that creates riots to kill people should never be allowed to rule Bengal. Even women in the BJP are not safe,” the TMC boss alleged.
Banerjee said the BJP cannot fight elections in a democratic manner and it “thrives by giving threats”.
