The war of words between Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) escalated on Monday after the outbreak of Prime Minister of West Bengal against the Center during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with senior ministers .
Both sides intensified the attacks on each other, with the TMC targeting PM Modi for a poorly planned blockade and a belated response to the Covid-19 situation and the BJP attacking the state government for not doing enough during the coronavirus pandemic and ” a collapse of the administration “.
“The prime minister did not meet with the chief ministers before announcing the closure. The center thought they could handle the situation in 15 days, and then it would only take credit for everything, “Abhishek Banerjee, Mamata Banerjee’s nephew and head of the youth wing of TMC, was heard saying in a video posted by the party.
“Meetings are held with the chief ministers before announcing the blockade of the second and third phase because the situation is not under control. Why didn’t they think and plan for migrant workers before announcing the closure? “Abhishek Banerjee asked.
“There are fears about the consequences of letting long-distance trains run. The Center should provide more clarity for all, “said TMC Secretary General and state education minister Partha Chatterjee.
He also alleged that BJP was busy playing politics when the focus should have been to put a unity fight against Covid-19.
Mamata Banerjee had attacked the Center in the afternoon during the video conference with Modi, alleging that he was trying to earn political miles at the expense of the state government.
“We as a state do everything we can to combat the virus. The Center must not play politics at this crucial moment. We are surrounded by international borders and other larger states and we have challenges to face … All states must be of equal importance and we must work together as Team India, ”he said, adding that the federal structure must be respected.
In the evening, BJP leaders focused on the state government of appeasing minorities, mismanagement in bringing migrant workers back, implementing a loose blockade, and failure to manage the public distribution system.
“The Center is not playing politics. The Center had to intervene because the state was failing its people. The state played hide and seek with data and the true Covid-19 scenario, allowed the blockade to be easily violated, corrupted the public distribution system and also wanted to leave migrant workers in the lurch, “said the unit’s president. BJP state agency Dilip Ghosh.
“In all cases, the state acted after the Center intervened. The government has failed in the most critical aspects (health and home affairs) and both portfolios are in the hands of the prime minister, “added Ghosh.
“This is not a time for politics. It is a national crisis and it is time to unite under the leadership of the prime minister and fight Covid-19,” said BJP national executive member Mukul Roy.
All senior leaders of the West Bengal BJP unit, including central observers Kailash Vijayvargiya, Shiv Prakash and Arvind Menon, Union ministers Babul Supriyo and Debasree Chaudhuri, and members of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, also excavated the Mamata Banerjee government for Maximum failure.
