People are terrified in the Mamata regime: Keshav Prasad Maurya (IANS Interview)

By Vivek Tripathi Lucknow, Jan 11 : Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, who is on a visit to West Bengal ahead of the upcoming Assembly polls, on Monday alleged that people are terrified in the state owing to the atmosphere of misrule, anarchy and hooliganism under a government led by chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
In an exclusive chat with IANS before leaving for Bengal, Maurya said: “People are terrified under the misrule, anarchy, hooliganism and bribery of Mamata Banerjee. The BJP wants to liberate the people of West Bengal from this.” He claimed that the BJP would form the government there on the strength of public service and struggle of the workers.
The Bharatiya Janata Party leadership has deployed Maurya in West Bengal under a special strategy. Since then he has visited the state many times.
In response to a question, Maurya said that the situation of bribery in Bengal is such that there is “cut money” given in order to run any business in the state. The people are fed up with the Mamata government, he claimed. Hence, the BJP is getting an overwhelming response there.
“‘Shreekrishna hare hare… BJP ghare ghare’ (Shreekrishna Hare Hare, BJP in every home in Bengal) slogan is echoing in the state. People have accepted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ as the ‘Mahamantra’ to remove Mamata,” he further said, adding that the party will establish a fear-free Bengal by winning more than 200 seats.
