Mumbai, March 1: The political battleground in West Bengal heats up as BJP leader Tuhin Sinha declares the launch of the party’s Parivartan Yatra marks the beginning of the end for Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress government. Speaking from Mumbai, Sinha asserted that this isn’t merely an electoral contest but a crusade to reclaim Bengal’s identity from decades of alleged neglect and infiltration.
Sinha lambasted the TMC regime for shielding illegal immigrants, whom he claims have overrun the state, depriving native Bengalis of their rights. ‘The BJP has been fighting for Bengal’s soul for years,’ he said, pointing to the Mamata government’s refusal to implement the central Ayushman Bharat health scheme, leaving millions without affordable healthcare.
Infrastructure woes in Kolkata plague residents, fueling mass exodus from the city, according to Sinha. Public anger simmers over these issues, and the 5,000-kilometer Parivartan Yatra will channel that rage into a demand for change. ‘Mamata’s countdown has begun; Bengal is ready for transformation,’ he proclaimed.
On TMC’s Rajya Sabha nominees, Sinha raised eyebrows over lawyers like Menaka Guruswamy and Kapil Sibal, questioning their alignment. ‘Are they the TMC versions of these advocates who’ve defended the government in controversial Supreme Court cases, including recent ED probes?’ he asked, hinting at deeper political maneuvers ahead of the assembly polls.
As accusations fly between BJP and TMC, the Yatra promises to galvanize supporters across Bengal, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown. With elections looming, Sinha’s bold predictions underscore BJP’s aggressive push to unseat the incumbent regime.
