In a sign of nervousness, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today was seen reciting the ‘Durga Path’ at a public rally in Bankura ahead of the crucial West Bengal assembly elections. She started chanting the powerful Durga Path, manifesting the presence of Maa Durga to remove all evil and prevent calamities in the future, Mamata’s Durga Path was an attack on BJP, saying that the people of Bengal “will surely take revenge from BJP”.
She also made some absurd claims. While addressing the huge gathering on the streets of Mejia in Bankura, she claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party leadership is planning a conspiracy to assassinate her and had even booked several hotels as part of it.
Though she wasn’t able to put any evidence on the table for her claims, she went on to accuse BJP that the party leaders aren’t here to campaign for the assembly elections, but to destroy the Trinamool Congress and file cases against the party with help from the Election Commission of India.
She not only targeted the party leaders but also mocked the Election Commission- a neutral body, alleging that Home minister Amit Shah controls the working of EC.
“Will the Home Minister run the country or decide who will get arrested or beaten up, or will he decide which agency will chase whom? Who is running the Election Commission? I hope it’s not you, Amit Shah. We want free and fair elections. He’s intervening in day-to-day working of EC,” she lashed.
The antics of Mamata Banerjee appears to suggest that she is extremely nervous about the prospects of her party in the assembly elections due to begin on the 27th of March in the state.
