Kolkata, April 15: As the West Bengal Assembly elections approach, political rhetoric is intensifying. BJP MP Anurag Thakur launched a strong attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday. He alleged that law and order in the state has deteriorated and claimed that no one feels safe. Thakur emphasized that a political change is imminent, stating, “May 4 will come, and Mamata Banerjee will go.”
Speaking to reporters, Thakur accused the state government of protecting illegal activities and prioritizing appeasement politics.
He remarked, “Mamata Banerjee’s administration has become synonymous with sheltering Bangladeshi infiltrators, counterfeit currency rackets, and those involved in creating fake Aadhaar cards. It also concerns shielding those accused of crimes against women.”
Thakur further alleged that job opportunities created for the people of West Bengal are being given to outsiders.
He stated, “Jobs are being offered to infiltrators at the expense of the state’s own citizens. It appears that the government supports corrupt individuals and employs every possible means to protect them. This raises a serious question: who is actually safe in West Bengal? There is appeasement politics in West Bengal, so I will say that May 4 will come, and Mamata Banerjee will go.”
Commenting on the Women’s Reservation Bill, Thakur highlighted the initiatives of the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, noting that several welfare schemes have significantly contributed to women’s empowerment.
He said, “From LPG connections and tap water to free grains, healthcare, and sanitation, these initiatives have benefited women and marginalized communities. Nearly 250 million people have been lifted above the poverty line.”
Thakur also stressed the importance of the proposed 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
He added, “We are committed to implementing this before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. A special session of Parliament will be held on April 16, 17, and 18 to advance this.”
Meanwhile, the central government is preparing to convene a three-day special session of Parliament from April 16 to 18 to push forward constitutional amendments that will enable women’s reservation. This proposal includes increasing the number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to approximately 850, with one-third of these seats reserved for women. Although the Women’s Reservation Act 2023 was passed, its implementation has been delayed due to the incomplete processes of delimitation and census.
