Shall Do Everything to Oust BJP from Power - WB CM Mamata Banerjee

NEW DELHI: West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has signalled her party's aim to oust BJP from power in Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Tripura and Goa. While campaigning for the upcoming by-election in the Bhabanipur constituency in Kolkata she said,'' We will perform 'khela' in Assam, Tripura, Goa and Uttar Pradesh if necessary. We shall do everything possible to oust the BJP from power in the country".

She is campaigning for herself to retain her post as Bengal CM as she had lost to BJP's Suvendhu Adhikari in the Nandigram seat during the Bengal elections. 

Her statement comes at a backdrop of rumours that various leaders from Manipur and Goa are in touch with the Trinamool Congress. 

During her campaign trail Bengal CM also slammed the BJP saying that the saffron party is bringing people from outside. 

She further alleged that her party members were stopped from entering Hathras, Uttar Pradesh and Assam by the BJP. 

She added that her party members were stopped at the airport in Assam and Tripura. Adding on she said that BJP imposed section 144  till November 4 when her nephew and MP Abhishek Banerjee was supposed to leave. 

In another incident, a verbal spat ensued in Kolkata on Wednesday between the BJP, led by its newly-appointed Bengal unit chief Sukanta Majumdar, and the Kolkata police after the former were prevented from campaigning in front of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's residence at Harish Chatterjee Street for the upcoming Assembly bypolls in Bhabanipur. Majumdar was campaigning for BJP candidate Priyanka Tibrewal who is pitted against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the bypolls in Bhabanipur, scheduled on September 30. The BJP entourage led by Majumdar was stopped by the police on the ground that the saffron brigade didn't have the requisite permission to campaign in front of the Chief Minister's residence.

Majumdar, who was taking out his first rally in the city after becoming the state unit chief, then got engaged in a verbal spat with the police, alleging that the latter had stopped them under the instruction of the ruling party.
