Not only did Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee hold her ground in West Bengal, but her party also made major gains, thereby puncturing the BJP’s plan to breach the TMC’s fortress once again.
The country is going through a very difficult time. Slowly, and now very quickly, the country is moving towards dictatorship. They (the BJP government at the Centre) first arrested (ex-Jharkhand CM) Hemant Soren, and then me. By arresting me, they are giving a message to people of the country that if they can arrest Kejriwal in a false case, they can arrest anyone. So they should be feared, and people should do as they say. These are signs of a dictatorship. In a democracy, they should listen to people, but they are asking people to listen to them. We have to save the country from this. In a way, this is like the freedom struggle. Many people who inspire me today went to jail for long periods at the time. My going to jail is to save the country, it is not because I am corrupt. It is not because Manish Sisodia has done something wrong. Just like people went to jail for long periods for this country’s freedom, we are going to jail to save democracy and the Constitution. I have always said that I can sacrifice my life for the country. This is a part of that struggle.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) and its supremo Mamata Banerjee tried to retrieve the situation on Monday after Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the offensive over her comment that “a few monks” of the Hindu monastic orders Bharat Sevashram Sangha and Ramakrishna Mission were working against the TMC to help the BJP in Bengal.
With the Trinamool Congress (TMC) strongly criticising the “derogatory” remarks made by former Calcutta High Court judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay, the current BJP candidate from the Tamluk Lok Sabha constituency, at a poll rally against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, questioning how one could make such comments about a woman, the TMC and the BJP are again caught in a war of words.
HAVING REJECTED the INDIA bloc before the Lok Sabha polls, as well as any seat-sharing adjustment with the Left Front and Congress, Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said her party would provide “outside support” to the Opposition alliance in case it manages to form a government at the Centre.
In the backdrop of a woman contractual staffer levelling molestation allegations against West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose, the Raj Bhavan on Wednesday said it would show the related CCTV footage to 100 people on Thursday, except “politician” Mamata Banerjee and “her police”.
