Mamata slams BJP, says it practices ‘fake politics’, ‘hate politics’

Birbhum: Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said the BJP practices ‘hate politics’ and ‘fake politics’.
Addressing an election campaign rally at Bolpur, the Chief Minister said, “BJP does hate politics and fake politics. They speak derogatory remarks about Visva-Bharati and Amartya Sen. They do not respect Rabindranath Tagore and Gandhiji. They do not know the culture and ethos of Bengal. BJP only knows to create riots, make fake videos and run false propaganda.” The Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo accused the BJP of hatching conspiracies to shatter the backbone and legacy of Bengal. She negated BJP’s projection of the future ‘Sonar Bangla’ saying it already prevails in the state.
Banerjee said the BJP does not know what is Hinduism. “It is not enough to frame the picture of Swami Vivekananda. You need to live on the principles of Ramakrishna, Maa Sharada and Swamiji for this,” she claimed.
Banerjee further condemned the BJP alleging its leaders are the killers of Gandhi. “They talk about changing the National Anthem. I dare you (BJP) to touch it,” asserted Banerjee.
She emphasised, “We endure Netaji, Gandhiji, Rabindranath, Nazrul, Birsa Munda and Ambedkar 365 days. I love the soil of Bengal.”
