Kolkata, April 15: As the West Bengal Assembly elections draw near, political rhetoric is intensifying. BJP MP Anurag Thakur launched a strong attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday. He accused her of failing to maintain law and order in the state, claiming 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 said, “Mamata Banerjee’s rule has become synonymous with sheltering Bangladeshi infiltrators, fake currency rackets, and those involved in creating fraudulent Aadhaar cards. It also involves protecting those accused of crimes against women.”
Thakur further alleged that job opportunities created for the people of West Bengal are being given to outsiders. “Jobs are being offered to infiltrators at the expense of the state’s own citizens. It seems the government supports corrupt individuals and does everything possible to shield them. This raises a serious question: who is truly safe in West Bengal? Due to appeasement politics, I assert that May 4 will come, and Mamata Banerjee will go.”
Commenting on the Women’s Reservation Bill, Thakur highlighted the central government’s initiatives under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, noting that several welfare schemes have significantly contributed to women’s empowerment. He stated, “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.”
He also stressed the importance of the proposed 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. “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 also includes increasing the number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to approximately 850, with one-third reserved for women. Although the Women’s Reservation Act 2023 has been passed, its implementation has been delayed due to the pending processes of delimitation and census.
