The West Bengal Leader of Opposition (LoP) and the BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari said that minority morcha is not needed in India. While addressing at a BJP state executive meeting in Kolkata on Wednesday, he said, “I had spoken about nationalist Muslims and you too had said ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. But I will not say this anymore. Instead, we will now say, ‘Jo Hamare Saath, Hum Unke Saath’. Stop this ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. Minority Morcha is not needed.”
Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday alleged that more than 50 lakh “Hindus” were not allowed to vote in Lok Sabha polls and over two lakh were refrained from voting in the by-polls respectively. Adhikari told the media that he will start a legal battle against this.
“Democracy is dead in Bengal. We have started a mass movement today. Nearly 50 Lakh Hindus were not allowed to vote in the Lok Sabha elections. More than 2 lakh Hindus were not allowed to vote in the 4 by-polls held in the state. I am launching a portal. Whoever was not allowed to vote, can register themselves and full secrecy will be ensured. I will start a legal battle also,” he said.
The BJP leader also held a protest outside the Raj Bhawan against post-poll clashes. Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress continued on its winning spree in the West Bengal Assembly bypolls, clinching all four seats, three of which were earlier held by its rival BJP. The TMC had won 29 out of 42 seats in West Bengal in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls.
Meanwhile, the BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar alleged that TMC committed “fraud” in bypolls stating that in some booths the party received “three and four votes”.”The way the results have come, BJP has got three votes in some booths, and four votes in some booths, this is fraud in the name of votes…We have complained to the Election Commission earlier also but there was no hearing,” Majumdar said.
