Kolkata (Bengal) – “We don’t need ‘sabka Saath, sabka Vikas’. We will support those who support us (Hindus). We will win the elections and save the Hindus,” stated BJP leader in Bengal and Leader of Opposition in the Bengal Legislative Assembly Suvendu Adhikari. He was speaking at a party event. At this time, he demanded the closure of the minority wing (Alpsankhyak Morcha) of the BJP. ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ is a slogan coined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Adhikari explained the reason for BJP’s defeat in the by-elections in the State. He said, “Thousands of Hindus were not allowed to vote in the by-elections. Millions of Hindus were not allowed to vote even in the Lok Sabha elections; because we are Hindus. Henceforth, at the time of voting, Jihadis will be sitting in front of your houses since morning (to stop Hindus from voting). The Police will be mute spectators. We must wake up. Hindus were not allowed to vote in Ghatakpur and Bhangar, 10 km from here. In Baduria, Haroa and Canning West, the Trinamool Congress won by one and a half lakh votes. The voting was not done based on voter card but through slips. We want democracy in Bengal. Hindus were not allowed to vote in Dhanekhali, Keshpur, Indas, Patrasair, Shitalakuchi. Goons locked me in the house on the election day. We want central security forces to be empowered to check the voter cards. The Constitution is not being followed in Bengal. We want to save the Constitution.”

Editorial Perspectives

• In Trinamool Congress governed Bengal, Muslims are being supported and their development is given priority, due to Muslim vote-bank. Hence, BJP’s ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ slogan would not work there. BJP needs the support of Hindus.

• In the recently held Lok Sabha elections, BJP did not get the Muslim votes, and it was only due to the Hindu votes, it could return to power. Knowing this, BJP leaders are now making such bold statements.
