Morigaon:
The leader of the Communist Party of India, Kanhaiya Kumar, attacked the BJP, calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi “the biggest liar” and comparing Assam’s top leader, Himanta Biswa Sarma, to King Kansa, the ruling tyrant of Mathura in the Mahabharata.
The former president of the JNU student union called Prime Minister Modi’s statement in Bangladesh, where he is visiting, about going to jail for the freedom of that country as a “big lie.”
He urged the people of Assam, where the three-phase vote for the state assembly began on Saturday, not to support those who are selling the country’s resources in the name of nationalism.
The left-wing youth leader questioned whether two million jobs have been created annually or whether black money has returned to the country as promised in 2014.
“What has happened in five years? How are the same people looking for votes again? When I came here, someone said that I can be a challenge to Modi. I said that to challenge Prime Minister Modi, you have to be the biggest liar. of the world”. .
“Did you hear what he said in Bangladesh? He said that he had also contributed to the Bangladesh freedom struggle, that he had participated in satyagraha and went to jail … Only BJP leaders can create that level of lies.” Kumar said.
In the war in Bangladesh, India supported the freedom movement in that country and Pakistan opposed it. “So the question arises that where was Modi in his satyagraha? Was he put behind bars by the government of Pakistan or the government of India? It’s just a big lie,” Kumar said while campaigning for the candidate. of the CPI, Munin Mahanta.
Prime Minister Modi had said in Dhaka that he was part of a satyagraha held to support the liberation of Bangladesh. He spoke at the national parade square in the Bangladeshi capital to mark the celebrations of the Golden Jubilee of its Independence and the centenary of the birth of the nation’s father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Training his weapons at Himanta Sarma, he said, “There is a leader who calls himself Mama (maternal uncle). Kansa was also a mother (of Lord Krishna). You can see the political truth. I just want to know how many promises that were made five years ago. years have passed (in the state) ”.
Sarma, who is also Assam’s health minister, is affectionately called “Mom” primarily by young people for his handling of the COVID-19 situation in the state in 2020.
“The man who could not be the Mom of Congress party, how can he be a Mom of Assam? There is no greater traitor than the one who deceives people for his own interests,” Kumar said.
Sarma was a minister in the government of the Congress of Tarun Gogoi in the state until he resigned from the party and joined the BJP.
Criticizing the BJP, the CPI leader said: “Traitors have occupied Delhi. We have to defeat them and make our farmers who have been protesting on the Delhi borders (against the agricultural laws) for months to come out victorious.”
The ongoing state elections are not being held to elect any leader but the government that will work for the people, he said.
“Gandhi received bullets in the chest to vote. This is the power of the vote, do not waste it. You have to decide if you are with the force that is selling the resources of the country in the name of nationalism. Let love go.” win this election, not hate. Gandhi was a
man of love, “he said.
Claiming that the BJP government is deeply involved in unions for coal, fish and other items, the former student leader said the saffron party only makes false promises every five years.
“This party cannot do any good for Assam. Prime Minister Modi is selling the country to his Gujarati friends. You have to understand the conspiracy of these people. They want to build a union by creating fights among the people of Assam. They are enacting dramas in Assam. They say that if Mahajot (Congress-AIUDF alliance) wins, then the
The fabric of Assam will change. They do not know the history of Assam. They should know that this land belongs to Srimanta Sankardeva and Aajaan Fakir, “he added.
