Patna, April 11 (NationPress) Renowned actor and TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha has launched a fierce critique against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that its political maneuvers in West Bengal are destined to fail (cholbe na).
During a media conference in Patna on Saturday, Sinha referenced a recently circulated video, asserting that it reveals significant truths and sheds light on purported conspiracies orchestrated by the BJP.
Sinha mentioned that TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee has skillfully unveiled the BJP's alleged '1,000-crore deal' scandal, which is now resonating across the nation.
He further criticized the BJP's so-called 'washing machine' technique, suggesting that leaders implicated in corruption are welcomed into the party and subsequently exonerated of their allegations.
Sinha highlighted examples of individuals previously linked to major scandals who have been granted key positions upon joining the BJP, particularly pointing out cases from Maharashtra.
He questioned whether similar measures would be taken against leaders from West Bengal facing accusations.
Praising Mamata Banerjee, he referred to her as an ‘Iron Lady’ and commended her proven leadership.
He expressed confidence that the citizens of West Bengal remain steadfastly supportive of her and is optimistic about a major victory for the TMC in the forthcoming elections.
Additionally, Sinha directed his criticism at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, claiming that numerous promises made by them have gone unfulfilled.
He pointed out commitments like extensive job creation and financial assistance that have now become subjects of public scrutiny.
Addressing the issue of pending funds under MGNREGA (Now VB G Ram G), he alleged that significant payments intended for beneficiaries in West Bengal are still withheld by the Centre.
Sinha’s statements contribute to the escalating political discourse as parties exchange sharp accusations ahead of the elections.
