Team News Riveting
Kolkata, March 16
West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) Supremo Mamata Banerjee had been chanting the same slogan for the last two years— Jo humse takraega wo choor choor ho jaega.
While addressing an election rally in Mejia of Bankura district, the wheel-chair-bound Mamata launched a scathing attack on the BJP and its leaders. Comparing herself to the injured tigress that is more vocal, the TMC leader said, “No matter how much they torture me…I do not care… Jo mujhse takrayega woh choor-choor ho jayega (the one who clash with me will be crushed).”
Interestingly, Mamata Banerjee had been raising the same slogan for the last two years, specially after facing defeat at the BJP hands in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The saffron party hit in a spectacular way; bagging 18 of the 42 seats in the general election. With the vote share of TMC drastically going down, the ruling party feared its impact in the 2021 state polls.
The desperate TMC leader, who sustained injury on her leg accidentally, had been campaigning in a wheel-chair. She has been raising the same slogan for the last two years to take on BJP.
In June 2019, while addressing a gathering on Red Road in Kolkata to mark Eid-ul-Fitr, she had said, “Tyaag ka naam hai Hindu, Imaan ka naam hai Musalman, Pyaar ka naam hai Isaai, Sikhon ka naam hai Balidan. Ye hai hamara pyaara Hindustan. Iski raksha humlog karenge. Jo humse takraega wo choor choor ho jaega. Ye hamara slogan hai.”
