BJP’s newly appointed Yuva Morcha boss Tejasvi Surya will lead a ‘Nabanna Chalo’ rally on Thursday, a protest march to the office of Gherao West Bengal’s Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, demanding justice for the state’s youth. He will be joined by Bengal chief Yuva Morcha, Saumitra Khan. The two leaders will then march from Howrah to Banerjee’s office around 10 a.m. Thursday.
This will be the first protest rally for Tejasvi as president of Yuva Morcha, to whom he was appointed 15 days ago. BJP has prepared a seven-point agenda addressed to the Bengal government on issues including corruption and lack of transparency in the SSC / TET recruitment process, the inability to guarantee jobs for unemployed youth, the inability to increase the limit age superior for various examinations, unable to rid PSC of corruption and simplify the hiring process A number of issues revolving around the attack and murder of BJP workers, including that of Manish Shukla, would feature on the list as the BJP sharpens its attack on the state government.
“The youth of Bengal are missing great opportunities due to the poor governance of Mamta di … It is time to take back that rich Bengal legacy. Bengal wants paribartan (change) and BJP is that voice for young people, “Surya told CNN-News18.
The protests will take place in other key locations across the state. Santragachi will see general secretaries of state, including MP Locket Chatterjee, Sayantan Basu, Jyotirmoy Mahato, among others. Meanwhile, from Hastings, the state head of the BJP office, Kailash Vijayvargiya, will lead the rally and from the state headquarters, the state president, Dilip Ghosh, will take charge along with a host of leaders.
About two lakh people are expected to take part in these protests despite the fact that public transport such as trains and buses operate with limited capacity. Each mandal has been tasked with deploying 10 buses to take workers to the protest site.
“Our founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee came from Bengal. We owe much to the youth of Bengal. We will end the tyrannical rule of Mamata Didi and announce a new beginning for Bengal and its talented youth,” added Tejasvi.
In particular, this demonstration is the precursor to the visit of the Minister of the Interior, Amit Shah, to Bengal in mid-October. Shah is likely to meet and address party workers in Siliguri, North Bengal, and will officially launch the campaign for the BJP in Bengal, where Assembly elections will be held next year.
