The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a social media campaign on Saturday that beat West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for staying away from the media for more than a week.
The campaign is called Bhoy Peyechhe Mamata, which means Mamata is scared in Bengali.
Top BJP state and national leaders began tweeting and posting to Facebook, using the hashtag #BhoyPeyechheMamata to charge that Banerjee was avoiding the media due to his failures, which they said were exposed by the Union government led by Narendra. Modi.
The campaign and social media posts came the day Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress mocked Prime Minister Modi for never responding to a press conference since he took over in 2014.
West Bengal’s ruling party also accused the BJP of prioritizing electoral interests in light of the 2021 assembly elections over saving lives in the current coronavirus pandemic.
Since March, Mamata Banerjee has been at the forefront of the state’s battle against Covid-19 and has interacted with the press almost every day. But since April 30, she has not met the media.
Instead, the chief secretary of state and home secretary are briefing journalists on administrative matters, while TMC spokespersons have been actively spreading political messages.
“Discrepancies in the EPP kit, embezzlement of victims, corruption of rations from start to date, @ MamataOfficial administration has misled people. Be patient! People will respond. #BhoyPeyecheMamata (sic),” Shiv Prakash wrote. , National Joint Secretary General (Organization) of the BJP, on Twitter on Saturday.
The party’s national secretary general, Kailash Vijayvargiya, tweeted: “Doctors crying over PPE, patients lying with corpses. Migrant labor cannot leave the state. Bengalis are not allowed to go home. Hospitals that do not accept patients. The police attacked @MamataOfficial’s government is an absolute disaster. #BhoyPeyecheMamata (sic) “.
Where are you Mamata Banerjee? Covid 19 cases are on the rise, none of the evidence remains low and does not give permission to bring back Bengali migrant workers from other states? #BhoyPeyecheMamata, “Mukul Roy, national executive member of BJP, tweeted.
“The people of Bengal are looking for their health minister, who is also the prime minister, as the number of Covid cases continues to rise, the doctors continue to protest, the tests remain extremely low, and the reported data is totally unreliable. ” Please help! # BhoyPeyecheMamata # SaveBengal (sic), “Amit Malviya, national head of the BJP IT cell, also tweeted.
On Saturday afternoon, the Trinamool Congress had dug in PM Modi to avoid press conferences.
“We hold long press conferences and answer all questions. Our Prime Minister always leads from the front at any hour of crisis. But the Prime Minister has not answered a single question from a press conference since he took over in 2014, “said Derek O’Brien, TMC national spokesman and member of Rajya Sabha.
O’Brien argued that while the Bengal government and state ruling party were concerned about fighting the coronavirus pandemic, the BJP focused on the Bengal Assembly elections due to take place in 2021.
“The BJP began its election campaign in 2021 the day the inter-ministerial core teams (IMCT) arrived in Bengal on April 20,” said O’Brien.
Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Lok Sabha MP for the party, argued that “all the measures taken by the Center regarding the handling of the Covid-19 situation in Bengal were, in fact, political measures. The Center could not bear the fact of that Mamata Banerjee was leading the battle from the front and was better than the Center. ”
IMCT had accused the state administration of negligence and mismanagement.
Meanwhile, after a biweekly controversy and since May 3, the West Bengal government has been sharing detailed information including the daily number of new Covid-19 cases, active cases, cumulative numbers of people who tested positive, and the number of districts and states. deceased.
