A day soon after Home Minister Amit Shah held a enormous roadshow in Birbhum, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday announced that she will also hold a rally there on December 29. She mentioned she is going to Birbhum for an administrative meeting on December 28. “I will also hold a rally on December 29,” the chief minister mentioned.
This comes just a day soon after Amit Shah concluded his two-day go to to Bengal. During his go to, Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on Mamata saying her ‘time was up in Bengal, which has witnessed infiltration and corruption under the TMC rule’. On Sunday, the Home Minister held a press conference in Birbhum exactly where he mentioned Bengal was when amongst the superior performing states but now it was performing poorly on pretty much each indicator, be it GDP or per capita earnings.
Today, Mamata Banerjee hit back at Shah saying he spoke “garbage of lies yesterday”. “He (Amit Shah) claimed our state is ‘zero’ in industry but we are number one in the MSME sector. He claimed we couldn’t build rural roads but we are number one in that. This is Government of India’s information,” she mentioned. The chief minister also mentioned that “BJP is a ‘cheatingbaaz’ party, for politics they can do anything”. “We have been opposing CAA since it was passed as law…They can’t decide the fate of citizens, let them decide their own fate. We are against CAA, NPR and NRC,” she reiterated.
Amit Shah mentioned on Sunday that Bengal had 1/3rd of India’s complete GDP and 30 per cent of India’s complete industrial production in 1947. “But today, the GDP share has hit rock bottom and industrial production has fallen to 3.5 per cent. I want to ask Mamata Di and Communists – who is responsible for this?” he asked.
He mentioned Bengal’s per particular person earnings was almost double of Maharashtra’s in 1960. “Today, it is not even half of India’s business capital,” Shah mentioned. He also mentioned that in the 1950s, 70 per cent of pharma production of India was accomplished in Bengal. “Today, it has fallen to a meager 7 per cent,” he added.
