Mamata lambasts BJP, called “party of outsiders”

Bolpur: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday hit the road of Bolpur just a week after Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s roadshow here in Birbhum district and charged the BJP with indulging in “divisive politics”.

Calling the BJP a “party of outsiders”, she accused them of importing “hate politics and making effort to break Bengal’s spine” and said, “Such things cannot triumph in the land which Gurudev described as ‘Sonar Bangla’ (Golden Bengal).”

“Those who don’t respect Mahatma Gandhi and other icons of the country are talking of building ‘Sonar Bangla’. But Bengal is already golden and Rabindranath Tagore has already written that in his song (which is now the national anthem of Bangladesh). All we need to do is to protect the place from the communal onslaught of the BJP,” Ms Banerjee iterated.

“I feel bad when I see efforts being made to bring communal politics at Visva Bharati,” Ms Banerjee noted.

Dubbing Visva Bharati Vice-Chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty a “BJP rubber stamp”, Ms Banerjee said, ” He plans to mar the rich heritage of the hallowed institution by importing divisive and communal politics inside its campus”.

Ms Banerjee also invited Baul folk singer Basudeb Das Baul on stage to sing for the crowd on the line of Mr Shah’s gesture of having lunch at his home earlier this month.
